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 …

Indentation, owing to its ability to induce permanent deformation in a controlled manner
even in highly brittle materials that are otherwise not amenable to critical mechanical testing …

Instrumented contact experiments are performed on three metallic glasses to systematically
study shear band formation near a stress concentration. The results suggest that high local …

Indentation techniques have been extensively used for mechanical characterisation of
materials. Development of instrumented indentation techniques at low and ultra low load …

Shear band formation has been known to be the dominant deformation mechanism at room
temperature in bulk metallic glasses. However, many indentation studies have revealed only …

Metallic glasses (MGs) are often perceived as quintessential structural materials due to their
superior mechanical properties such as high strength and large elastic limit. In practical …

Indentation studies are conducted on two different bulk metallic glasses and for a variety of
indenters: spherical, conical and pyramidal. Shear bands are observed around the prints for …

Simulated nanoindentation tests on a model metallic glass reveal that the crack initiates
inside a shear band via cavitation. The load-displacement curve was shown to be …

Shear band morphology of a binary Pd 80 Si 20 nanoglass (NG) and metallic glass (MG)
was investigated using bonded interface indentation technique. The results clearly indicate …

The effects of residual stress on the deformation behavior of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass
(BMG) during nanoindentation were studied by atomic force microscopy. The residual stress …
