Compression, tension and high-velocity plate impact experiments were performed on a
typical tough Zr41. 2Ti13. 8Cu10Ni12. 5Be22. 5 (Vit 1) bulk metallic glass (BMG) over a wide …

We quantitatively investigated the fracture morphologies of Zr 52.5 Cu 17.9 Ni 14.6 Al 10 Ti 5
and Pd 78 Cu 6 Si 16 metallic glasses (MGs) under compression. The characteristic features …

Bulk metallic glass alloys exhibit an impressive range of mechanical properties including
large elastic strains to failure (el 2%) and high tensile strengths (2 GPa)(1, 2). However, their …

Some bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) exhibit high crack initiation toughness due to shear
band mediated plastic flow at the crack tip and yet do not display additional resistance to …

Mode I fracture experiments were conducted on brittle bulk metallic glass (BMG) samples
and the fracture surface features were analyzed in detail to understand the underlying …

The plastic deformation of metallic glasses (MG) is well-known to occur via shear
transformation zones (STZs) on the scale of atomic clusters, yet fracture of MG takes place …

Shear band formation and fracture are characterized during mode II loading of a Zr-based
bulk metallic glass. The measured mode II fracture toughness, KIIc= 75±4MPa√ m, exceeds …

Dynamic “forced” shear and quasi-static tensile tests were performed on a typical Vitreloy 1
bulk metallic glass (BMG). The nanoscale shear band is found to initiate in a local plastic …

The Anand–Su theory for large elastic–plastic deformations of metallic glasses is modified to
account for the strongly nonlinear and eventually softening dilatational volumetric elastic …

Significant progress in understanding the mechanical behavior of metallic glasses (MGs)
was made over the past decade, particularly on mechanisms of plastic deformation …
