“…It is well-known that most structural steels show obvious temperature dependent mechanical properties, such as yield stress, ductile-brittle fracture transition behavior. Previous investigations demonstrate that for some steels, the so-called Lüders plateau which is influenced by loading rate, ferrite grain size, yield stress, et al may occur in uniaxial tension test (Beardsmore et al, 2013;Dahl et al, 2018;Hallai and Kyriakides, 2013;Han et al, 2017;Liu et al, 2015;Mazière et al, 2017;Ren et al, 2015;Tsuchida et al, 2006). It has been reported that lowering testing temperature will increase the Lüders plateau length, see Fig.…”
