Three factors govern adiabatic shear localization: strain hardening (or softening), strain-rate
hardening, and thermal softening. It is typically associated with large shear strains (> 1), high …

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 …

Intermetallic alloys have traditionally been characterized by their inherent brittleness due to
their lack of sufficient slip systems and absence of strain hardening. However, here we …

Reflecting the fast pace of research in the field, the Second Edition of Bulk Metallic Glasses
has been thoroughly updated and remains essential reading on the subject. It incorporates …

The structure of metallic glasses (MGs) has been a long-standing mystery. On the one hand,
MGs are amorphous materials with no long-range structural order; on the other hand …

The mechanical properties of amorphous alloys have proven both scientifically unique and
of potential practical interest, although the underlying deformation physics of these materials …

The mechanical properties of bulk metallic glasses, including their superior strength and
hardness, and excellent corrosion and wear resistance, combined with their general inability …

The CRC Materials Science and Engineering Handbook, Third Edition is the most
comprehensive source available for data on engineering materials. Organized in an easy-to …

At ambient temperature the plastic flow shown by metallic glasses is localized into shear
bands,. This localization and the liquid-like features seen on fracture surfaces are consistent …

We present results on a series of two-dimensional atomistic computer simulations of
amorphous systems subjected to simple shear in the athermal, quasistatic limit. The …
