Three factors govern adiabatic shear localization: strain hardening (or softening), strain-rate
hardening, and thermal softening. It is typically associated with large shear strains (> 1), high …

The mechanical properties of ex-situ and in-situ metallic glass matrix composites (MGMCs)
have proven to be both scientifically unique and of potentially important for practical …

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 …

Fascinated by the exceptional mechanical properties of high entropy alloys (HEAs),
unremitting endeavors are placed on accelerating their engineering applications in multiple …

Atomic structure dictates the performance of all materials systems; the characteristic of
disordered materials is the significance of spatial and temporal fluctuations on composition …

Bulk Metallic Glasses (BMG) are metallic alloys that have the ability to solidify in an
amorphous state. BMGs show enhanced properties, for instance, high hardness, strength …

The fracture toughness of glassy materials remains poorly understood. In large part, this is
due to the disordered, intrinsically non-equilibrium nature of the glass structure, which …

A fundamental understanding of the fatigue and fracture behavior of bulk metallic glasses
(BMGs) and their composites is of critical significance for designing new BMG systems and …

We perform atomistic simulations on the fracture behavior of two typical metallic glasses,
one brittle (FeP) and the other ductile (CuZr), and show that brittle fracture in the FeP glass is …

A long-sought goal in metallic glasses is to impart ductility without conceding their strength
and elastic limit. The rational design of tough metallic glasses, however, remains …
