The fracture of metallic glasses has received relatively little attention until recently. The
development of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with more compositions, large sample sizes …

We find that the failure of bulk metallic glassy (BMG) materials follows three modes, ie, shear
fracture with a fracture plane significantly deviating from 45° to the loading direction, normal …

Stiffness, strength, and toughness are the three primary attributes of a material, in terms of its
mechanical properties. Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are known to exhibit elastic moduli at a …

We report a brittle Mg-based bulk metallic glass which approaches the ideal brittle behavior.
However, a dimple structure is observed at the fracture surface by high resolution scanning …

Three glass-forming alloy compositions were chosen for ribbon production and subsequent
electron microscopy studies. In situ tensile testing with transmission electron microscopy …

A range of bulk metallic glasses has been cast and their mode II fracture toughness has
been estimated from the length scale of shear band vein patterns on fracture surfaces. As …

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) can exhibit excellent combinations of strength and fracture
toughness that cannot be achieved by traditional metals, making them attractive for load …

Glassy alloys (metallic glasses) are currently the focus of intense research in the
international metals community. Setting aside elevated-temperature applications, these …

The fracture toughness is a critical material property that determines engineering
performance. However, as is well known for crystalline materials, if certain sample geometry …

The deformation of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) is generally driven by highly localized
shear. Due to such inhomogeneous flow, failure occurs in a catastrophic brittle manner …
