Plastic strain localization and fracture of dynamically loaded metallic samples occurred during plug formation are investigated. These processes are closely related to the instability of plastic flow and can be attributed to structural-scaling transitions in mesodefect ensembles. The multiscale nature of defect structure allows one to use the fractal concept for quantitative analysis of both the fracture...
