Fracture of notched ductile bulk metallic glass bars subjected to tension-torsion: experiments and simulations
There is a shortage of literature on mode III fracture behaviour of bulk metallic glasses.
In our following research paper published in Acta Materialia, we report our experiments and three-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element simulations of tension-torsion loading on notched ductile bulk metallic glass bars.
It is found that fracture toughness of this BMG is lowest in mode II among all three fracture modes.
