Although the atomic structure of amorphous alloys, which lacks long-range translational
symmetry, may appear homogeneous at the macroscopic scale, their local dynamic and/or …

In a crystalline material, structural defects such as dislocations or twins are well defined and
largely determine the mechanical and other properties of the material. For metallic glass …

Fracture properties are crucial for the applications of structural materials. The fracture
behaviors of crystalline alloys have been systematically investigated and well understood …

Upon reducing the sample size into micrometer scale, an obvious brittle-to-ductile transition
accompanied by a drastic change of failure mode from shattering to shear-banding was …

An empirical potential that has been widely used to perform molecular dynamics studies on
the fracture behavior of FeP metallic glasses is shown to exhibit spinodal decomposition in …

This chapter focuses on the mechanical properties and behavior of glasses below their
glass transition temperature. In this temperature range, they are usually seen as perfectly …

In this work, a new family of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), containing sulfur as major
constituent, has been discovered. Before, sulfur has not been considered for the …

We investigated fracture surface instabilities generated during interaction of dynamic cracks
with atomistic scale defects in brittle single crystals. We show that the initiation of the surface …

The existence of second phase usually promotes the formation of multiple shear bands
under uniaxial loading, leading to the apparent strain hardening and enhanced plasticity in …

With decreasing the testing temperature, a TiZr-based metallic glass (MG) shows obvious
increments in yield strengths, tension-compression strength asymmetry, and deviations of …
