$1/f$ noise and avalanche scaling in plastic deformation

Abstract

We study the intermittency and noise of dislocation systems undergoing shear deformation. Simulations of a simple two-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics model indicate that the deformation rate exhibits a power spectrum scaling of the type $1/f^{\alpha }$. The noise exponent is far away from a Lorentzian, with $\alpha \approx 1.5$. This result is directly related to the way the durations of avalanches of plastic deformation activity scale with their size.
