Abstract
This paper investigates the high strain rate plasticity of face-centered cubic (FCC) metals, focusing on a strength transition around 10⁴ s⁻¹. The authors extend avalanche plasticity theory to high strain rates by introducing time limitations to self-organisation. Experiments on high-purity copper distinguish instantaneous and permanent strength contributions, demonstrating that the transition is structural in nature. A model linking changes in mechanical threshold to the inability of large avalanches to form rapidly is validated by strong model agreement with experimental data. The work provides a unified framework for plasticity.
