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 …

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 …

Both hardness and strength are the important properties of materials, and they often obey
the three times empirical relationship in work-hardened metals and some bulk metallic …

Adiabatic shear localization is a mode of failure that occurs in dynamic loading. It is
characterized by thermal softening occurring over a very narrow region of a material and is …

A promising remedy to the failure of metallic glasses (MGs) by shear banding is the use of a
dense network of glass-glass interfaces, ie, a nanoglass (NG). Here we investigate the effect …

The proven superior ductility of nanoglasses (NGs) makes them a promising second phase
for metallic glass (MG) matrix composites. Here we evaluate the mechanical properties of …

Catastrophic fracture with nearly zero tensile elongation at room temperature in bulk metallic
glasses (BMGs) makes their future application as structural materials seem bleak. The …

Notched metallic glasses (MGs) have received much attention recently due to their intriguing
mechanical properties compared to their unnotched counterparts, but so far no fundamental …

Atomistic simulations are performed to study the effects of size and shape of a superficial or
internal notch on the strength and failure mechanism of CuZr metallic glass (MG) under …

The notch tensile behavior of Zr-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) is investigated and
compared with that of crystalline metals and ceramics. It is found that the tensile strength of …
