Plastic deformation is a highly dissipative process that induces a variety of patterns such as
the cell structure in multislip conditions, the matrix structure and the persistent slip bands in …

We report a crossover from chaotic to self-organized critical dynamics in the Portevin–Le
Chatelier effect in single crystals of Cu–10% Al in tension as a function of the applied strain …

The unstable plastic flow caused by the Portevin–Le Chatelier effect is studied
experimentally. Non-local effects due to strain heterogeneity are addressed by comparing …

The collective behavior of dislocations in jerky flow is studied in Al-Mg polycrystalline
samples subjected to constant strain rate tests. Complementary dynamical, statistical, and …

Jerky flow, or the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect, is investigated at room temperature by
applying statistical, multifractal and dynamical analyses to the unstable plastic flow of …

In time series analysis, it has been considered of key importance to determine whether a
complex time series measured from the system is regular, deterministically chaotic, or …

Recently Hu, Tung, Gao, and Cao [Phys. Rev. E 72, 056207 (2005)] investigated the 0-1 test
for chaos. By looking at random data and at data stemming from the one-dimensional …

Recent studies of the Portevin–Le Chatelier (PLC) effect bear evidence that serrated
deformation curves characteristic of unstable plastic flow may exhibit temporal features that …

We report the verification of the prediction of chaos in the Portevin–Le Châtelier effect or the
jerky flow by analyzing the stress signals obtained from samples of polycrystalline Al–Mg …

In the present work Zr-based bulk metallic glassy samples with low aspect ratio (1: 2) were
deformed plastically at quasistatic loading conditions in order to study propagation of …
