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.
