According to this model, the serrated yielding occurring in a certain strain rate-temperature range will disappear when the strain exceeds a proper value under certain conditions. The model has been confirmed by tensile tests and rapid changing strain rate tests on a commercial Cu-32wt.% Zn alloy. Experimental results agree well with the predicted effects of temperature and strain rate on the critical strain for the appearance and disappearance of serrations.展开更多
