S. Venkadesan et al., EVIDENCE FOR CHAOS IN AN EXPERIMENTAL TIME-SERIES FROM SERRATED PLASTIC-FLOW, Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 54(1), 1996, pp. 611-616
An experimental time series from a tensile test of an Al-Mg alloy in t
he serrated plastic flow domain is analyzed for signature of chaos. We
employ state space reconstruction by embedding of time delay vectors.
The minimum embedding dimension is found to be 4 and the largest Lyap
unov exponent is positive, thereby providing prima facie evidence for
chaos in an experimental time series of serrated plastic flow data.
