The aim of this research was to investigate the influence of a geometrical notch on the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect. This phenomenon manifests itself as the serrated stress-strain curve obtained for certain materials when they undergo plastic deformation during tensile tests. The Portevin-Le Chatelier effect can often be observed in aluminum alloys especially those with an addition of magnesium. The material examined in the present experiments was a model Al-3Mg alloy. Samples were prepared with notches cut in the specimens with different depths and shapes. The results clearly indicate that the notch has a significant influence on the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect. With increasing notch depth, the stress amplitude of the serrations increases together with their frequency and the course of the serrations changes. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
