Shear-banding is a ubiquitous plastic-deformation mode in materials. In metallic glasses,
shear bands are particularly important as they play the decisive role in controlling plasticity …

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 …

Nanoindentation is a technique which can be used to measure the mechanical properties of
materials with high precision, even when they are only available in small quantities. As a …

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 …

The nanoindentation technique was employed to examine the strain rate sensitivity, m, and
its dependence on the structural state of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass (BMG). The free …

The mechanical behaviour of an FeCoCrMoCBY bulk metallic glass is investigated by
means of indentation testing and ultrasonic echography. The elastic moduli (Young's …

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 …

An experimental study to ascertain the ductile-to-brittle transition (DBT) in a bulk metallic
glass (BMG) was conducted. Results of the impact toughness tests conducted at various …

With unique properties such as high strength, amorphous alloys in the bulk form have been
a focus for many studies in recent years. Yet, the amorphous alloys (metallic glass) in the …

Stationary crack tip fields in bulk metallic glasses under mixed mode (I and II) loading are
studied through detailed finite element simulations assuming plane strain, small scale …
