“…Not only complementary types are sometimes defined to distinguish some rarer variants of shape of deformation curves associated with the propagation mode, e.g., step-wise curves of type D differing from type A shape by the absence of stress falls (Rodriguez, 1984). Besides, real behaviors often display combinations of types, especially in practically used alloys with complex compositions and initial microstructures (Robinson, 1994;Lebedkina et al, 2014Lebedkina et al, , 2017Andreau et al, 2014;Mogucheva et al, 2016;Valdes-Tabernero et al, 2017). Such a diversity makes difficult the rationalization of various effects of the PLC instability on mechanical behavior of alloys and their relationships with the onset of necking and its progression until failure of tensile samples.…”
