Brittle materials, such as oxide glasses, are usually very sensitive to flaws, giving rise to a
macroscopic fracture strength that is much lower than that predicted by theory. The same …

Since the operation of shear band in bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) is accompanied by
severe localization in both size and time scales, the measurement of heating and …

The effect of sample size on the shear deformation and compressive plasticity of different
metallic glasses were investigated. The experimental results showed that the deformation …

We studied the effect of crystallization on the embrittlement of bulk metallic glasses.
Specifically, we measured fracture toughness for Zr 44 Ti 11 Cu 10 Ni 10 Be 25 and Pd 43 …

Dynamic fracture experiments were performed in polymethylmethacrylate over a wide range
of velocities and reveal that the fracture energy exhibits an abrupt threefold increase from its …

Metallic glasses (MGs) are potential engineering materials, however their ductility is
currently a limiting factor. Despite significant attempts to improve their fracture toughness …

We report on the formation of bulk metallic glasses in the ternary Pd-Ni-S system. In a large
compositional range, glass formation is observed by copper mold casting with a glass …

At temperatures well below the glass transition temperature, the failure of metallic glasses is
generally induced by shear banding, which is a result of the self-organized shear …

A method is introduced to determine notch toughness of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs).
Through thermoplastic replication of Si molds, unprecedented control in fabricating BMG …

Materials typically fail under complex stress states, essentially involving dilatational
(volumetric) components that eventually lead to material decohesion/separation. It is …
