Title: Some experimental, empirical, and modelling results for the bursty deformation of solidsAbstract: We
describe some recent experimental and empirical studies on the bursty
strain behavior in the mechanics of solids, especially crystalline
materials. This includes their (ir)reversible structural transformations
and their plastic deformation. We highlight features of the underlying
strain-avalanching, and present a related crystallographically-informed
modeling, with the ensuing strain-intermittency results, in different
mechanical or thermal loading scenarios.
