Wallner lines, crack velocity and mechanisms of fracture in a brittle bulk metallic glass
A few years ago, we observed Wallner Lines on the fracture surface of a brittle Bulk Metallic Glass and explained the process of formation of nanocorrugations on the fracture surface.
We published our research in Acta Materialia in the paper: 'Wallner lines, crack velocity and mechanisms of fracture in a brittle bulk metallic glass'.
I hope the experimental fracture mechanicians would particularly enjoy reading this paper and find it useful in their research.
On the mechanism and the length scales involved in the ductile fracture of a bulk metallic glass
A few years ago we published a paper in Acta Materialia elucidating the mechanism and length scales in the ductile fracture of bulk metallic glass through experiments and finite element simulations.
The link to the paper is here: 'On the mechanism and the length scales involved in the ductile fracture of a bulk metallic glass'.
I hope you enjoy reading the paper and find it useful in your research.
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.
Temperature-dependence of mode I fracture toughness of a bulk metallic glass
Bulk Metallic Glasses were found to exhibit an intermediate temperature minimum in ductility. Does it also lead to an intermediate temperature minimum in fracture toughness?
Three dimensional unit cell study of a porous bulk metallic glass under various stress states
Porous Bulk Metallic Glasses have been found to be mechanically superior under compressive stress states.
Mechanisms of compressive deformation and failure of porous bulk metallic glasses
Porous Bulk Metallic Glasses have been invented by researchers to mitigate catastrophic failure in monolithic Bulk Metallic Glasses which are susceptible to intense strain localization into shear bands.
Nonlocal Micromechanics of Composites of both Random and Periodic Structures (Background, Opportunities and Prospects)
An extended abstract dedicated to nonlocal (in the sense of either Eringen or Silling) micromechanics is attached. It can’t be considered as a review in any sense. It is just a personal vision on a new area of micromechanics, in particularly based on the author’s publications (references on hundreds related papers can be found in the referred publications). The style of the abstract is plausible rather than rigorous that willfully used by the author just for initiation of discussions in the new prospective area of micromechanics.
