Figure 5

(a) A deformation map is constructed from observed failure morphologies (slashed symbols) from all tests and estimated strain-rate sensitivities determined from load jump tests on nanowires and bulk specimens. The inset highlights the nanowire results. From the deformation map a transition from Newtonian (yellow diamonds) to non-Newtonian deformation (blue triangles) is observed as the strain-rate increases. The symbol types match the deformation morphologies from Fig. 4c,d respectively. A black dashed line, determined from (b), is included to highlight the transition at different viscosities for compiled bulk data. Compiled bulk data from this work (filled squares) and the literature26,27,28,29,36,37,38,39,40 in (b) shows a deformation map over a range of viscosities and strain-rates. From the compiled data, an average transition from Newtonian to non-Newtonian deformation is determined as shown by the dashed black line. The black data marker in the inset represents the mean uncertainty in the determination of viscosity. The uncertainty in strain-rate is smaller than the marker size.
