On the source of plastic flow in metallic glasses: Concepts and models
نویسنده
چکیده
We briefly review the state-of-the-art study on plastic flow in metallic glasses. Especially, we survey the features and behaviors, percolation, and response of the basic deformation units to the activation of stress and temperature, and various models and notions on microscopic flow in metallic glasses. The discussion, comments and perspective on possible unified notation, terminologies and models on plastic flow in metallic glasses are presented. The purpose is to reach a consensus within the community with a hope to eventually unify the notations and models on the deformations in metallic glasses. © 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The role of configurational disorder on plastic and dynamic deformation in Cu64Zr36 metallic glasses: A molecular dynamics analysis
The varying degrees of configurational disorder in metallic glasses are investigated quantitatively by molecular dynamics studies. A parameter, the quasi-nearest atom, is used to characterize the configurational disorder in metallic glasses. Our observations suggest configurational disorder play a role in structural heterogeneity, plasticity and dynamic relaxations in metallic glasses. The broa...
متن کاملExperimental characterization of shear transformation zones for plastic flow of bulk metallic glasses.
We report experimental characterization of shear transformation zones (STZs) for plastic flow of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) based on a newly developed cooperative shearing model [Johnson WL, Samwer K (2005) A universal criterion for plastic yielding of metallic glasses with a (T/T(g))(2/3) temperature dependence. Phys Rev Lett 95: 195501]. The good agreement between experimental measurements ...
متن کاملDensification and strain hardening of a metallic glass under tension at room temperature.
The deformation of metallic glasses involves two competing processes: a disordering process involving dilatation, free volume accumulation, and softening, and a relaxation process involving diffusional ordering and densification. For metallic glasses at room temperature and under uniaxial loading, disordering usually dominates, and the glass can fail catastrophically as the softening process ru...

This study derives kinematic admissible bending moment – axial force (M-P) interaction relations for mild steel by considering elastic-plastic idealizations. The interaction relations can predict strains, which is not possible in a rigid perfectly plastic idealization. The relations are obtained for all possible cases pertaining to the locations of neutral axis. One commercial rolled steel T-se...
متن کاملExtraordinary plasticity of ductile bulk metallic glasses.
Shear bands generally initiate strain softening and result in low ductility of metallic glasses. In this Letter, we report high-resolution electron microscope observations of shear bands in a ductile metallic glass. Strain softening caused by localized shearing was found to be effectively prevented by nanocrystallization that is in situ produced by plastic flow within the shear bands, leading t...
