Effective dimensionality of the Portevin - Le Chatelier effect

preprint2009arXivOpen access

Abstract

Tensile tests have been carried out by deforming polycrystalline samples of substitutional Al-2.5%Mg alloy at room temperature at a range of strain rates. The Portevin - Le Chatelier (PLC) effect was observed. From an analysis of the experimental stress versus time series data we have inferred that the dynamics of the PLC effect in a local finite time is controlled by a finite number of degrees of freedom and this effective dimension becomes reduced with increasing strain.
