Abstract The Portevin–Le Chatelier (PLC) effect manifests itself as an unstable plastic flow
during tensile tests of some dilute alloys under certain regimes of strain rate and …

Abstract The Portevin-Le Châtelier (PLC) effect is a plastic instability in alloys at certain
strain rates and deformation temperatures. This plastic instability exhibits serrated yielding in …

This paper focuses on experimental investigations on the kinematic and thermal aspects of
the propagative plastic instabilities, namely Lüders band and Portevin–Le Châtelier (PLC) …

The distribution and partitioning of solute atoms in age-hardenable aluminum (Al) alloys
markedly impact strength, ductility and failure of alloy materials, thus rendering the …

The computational efficiency and measurement accuracy of the digital image correlation
(DIC) have become more and more important in recent years. For the three-dimensional DIC …

Generating digital speckle image and its corresponding deformed image is the basis of
digital image correlation research. At present, however, it still lacks a powerful, easy-to-use …

By employing the dynamic digital speckle pattern interferometry (DSPI) technique, three
types of Portevin–Le Chatelier (PLC) effects are investigated systematically, with emphasis …

The performance of digital image correlation (DIC) is influenced by the quality of speckle
patterns significantly. Thus, it is crucial to present a valid and practical method to assess the …

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are new alloys that contain five or more elements in roughly-
equal proportion. We present new experiments and theory on the deformation behavior of …

The well-known mechanisms of interaction between precipitates and dislocations are
shearing (for shearable precipitates) and bypassing mechanisms (for nonshearable …
