Abstract

The Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect is a kind of plastic instability observed in many dilute alloys when deformed at certain ranges of strain rate and temperature. In this paper we present a comprehensive statistical analysis of the observed experimental data obtained during PLC effect and establish that the occurrence probability of the stress drops in the dynamical process responsible for PLC effect is Poisson in nature.
