(a,b) Digital images of strain and (c,d) strain distribution curves of the LC and T2L sheets at tensile strains of 0.4%, 2.5%, and 6.4%. In the LC sheet, localized bands appear in the upper and center regions of the gage section at the strain of 0.4%, are widened at the strain of 2.5%, and are joined together to reach the almost same strain throughout the gage section at the strain of 6.4%. The T2L sheet is deformed homogeneously without any localized bands.
