title: Crystal-melt coexistence under shear: Interpreting the nonlinear rheology.
abstract: We propose a phenomenological model for shear-induced melting aimed at assisting the design of experimental studies of this phenomenon. For increasing strain rates, the model predicts the changes in liquid fraction and shear stress as a function of interfacial supercooling. We discuss the experimental conditions under which shear-induced melting could be observed in a range of materials.
