Kinetics of periodic processes during plastic flow

Abstract

This paper establishes the dependence of the velocity of the self-consistent motion of the foci of inhomogeneous plastic deformation on the strain-hardening coefficient during the stretching of single-crystal γ Fe. It is shown that the relationship between the velocity and the indicated quantity is inversely proportional at the linear-hardening stage. An interpretation of the observed regularities is proposed on the basis of the concept of the autowave character of the plastic flow of solids and of self-organization in a deformed medium. The dispersion law of the plastic-deformation autowaves is established.
