Due to the nature of these collective bursts, or avalanches, they can be modelled with mesoscopic models and here each of the experimental systems is compared to simulations based on one of these simple models. In Publication I the dynamics of Portevin–Le Chatelier (PLC) deformation bands are studied using statistical methods. The res...
