On the slip burst amplitude cutoff in dislocation-rich microcrystals

Andreas Mortensen, Luciano Borasi

The plastic deformation of small-scale face-centered cubic metals exhibits intermittent slip burst events that appear on stress-strain curves as sudden strain jumps and/or load drops. These events are generally attributed to the avalanche-like cooperative ...
