Abstract
Using a work-hardened aluminum alloy that exhibits dynamic strain aging, oscillations in strain rate transitioning into intermittent local plastic activity are observed through an extended elastoplastic transition, before onset of the Portevin–Le Chatelier effect. Fourier analysis confirms this intermittency spans multiple scales. Wavelet analysis provides a method of quantifying transitions in the deformation behavior in both the time and frequency domains, and reveals a period doubling transition in both the local strain rate and global load signals.
