نبذة مختصرة : International audience ; Scaling behavior is found in acoustic-emission events associated with stress drops observed in velocity-driven plastic deformation of an Al alloy, which exhibits jerky plastic flow. The occurrence of scaling proves that these acoustic-emission events, which are commonly regarded as “elementary” ones, have a small-scale self-organized structure comprising a group of peaks correlated in time. This structure reveals details of the temporal variation in elementary plastic events at a microsecond scale, which are hardly accessible by other measurement techniques.
