不同温度下2种钨结构增强Zr基非晶合金的动态压缩性能

利用SHPB装置对钨丝增强Zr基非晶复合材料和钨骨架增强Zr基非晶复合材料进行了3种环境温度下多种应变率的动态压缩性能测试。比较了2种材料的动态力学性能,发现二者均具有应变率敏感性和较强的塑性变形能力。但二者承载机制存在较大差异。钨丝增强结构变形主要表现在钨丝的失稳,由数值模拟初步分析了这种局部结构失稳控制的变形以及热失稳现象;钨骨架增强结构变形前期钨骨架起主要承载作用,而不是各成分的共同作用,这导致材料的屈服强度比纯非晶和纯钨的低。

Mode II fracture behavior of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass

Shear band formation and fracture are characterized during mode II loading of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass. The measured mode II fracture toughness, K_IIc=75±4 MPa√m, exceeds the reported mode I fracture toughness by ∼4 times, suggesting that normal or mean stresses play a significant role in the deformation process at the crack tip. This effect is explained in light of a mean stress modified free volume model for shear localization in metallic glasses. Thermal imaging of deformation at the mode II crack tip further reveals that shear bands initiate, arrest, and reactivate along the same path, indicating that flow in the shear band leads to permanent changes in the glass structure that retain a memory of the shear band path. The measured temperature increase within the shear band is a fraction of a degree. However, heat dissipation models indicate that the temperature could have exceeded the glass transition temperature for less than 1 ms immediately after the shear band formed. It is shown that this time scale is sufficient for mechanical relaxation slightly above the glass transition temperature.

Effects of size on the strength and deformation mechanism in Zr-based metallic glasses

We report results of uniaxial compression tests on Zr₃₅Ti₃₀Co₆Be₂₉ metallic glass nano-pillars with diameters ranging from ∼1.6 μm to ∼100 nm. The tested pillars have nearly vertical sidewalls, with the tapering angle lower than ∼1° (diameter >200 nm) or ∼2° (diameter ∼100 nm), and with a flat pillar top to minimize the artifacts due to imperfect geometry. We report that highly-localized-to-homogeneous deformation mode change occurs at 100 nm diameter, without any change in the yield strength. We also find that yield strength depends on size only down to 800 nm, below which it remains at its maximum value of 2.6 GPa. Quantitative Weibull analysis suggests that the increase in strength cannot be solely attributed to the lower probability of having weak flaws in small samples - most likely there is an additional influence of the sample size on the plastic deformation mechanism.     

A finite-deformation constitutive model for bulk metallic glass composites

The focus of this study is the development of an elastic-viscoplastic, three-dimensional, finite-deformation constitutive model to describe the large deformation behavior of bulk metallic glass (BMG) composite. A macroscopic theoretical formulation is proposed based on thermodynamic considerations to describe the response at ambient temperature and pressure, as well as at different strain rates. A constitutive equation is derived using the principle of thermodynamics and the augmenting of free energy. This is done by assuming that deformation within the constituent phases of the composite is affine; kinetic equations defining plastic shear and evolution of free volume concentration are then derived. The constitutive model is subsequently implemented in a finite-element program (Abaqus/Explicit) via a user-defined material subroutine. Numerical predictions are compared with experimental results from tests on La-based in situ BMG composite (La–Al–Cu–Ni) specimens cast in-house; this demonstrates that the model is able to describe the material behavior observed.     

Simulation of crack propagation in fiber-reinforced bulk metallic glasses

Based on a phase-field model for deformation in bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), shear band formation and crack propagation in the fiber-reinforced BMG are investigated. Ideal unbroken fibers embedded in the BMG matrix are found to significantly influence the shear banding and crack propagation in the matrix. The crack propagation affected by fibers’ length and orientation is quantitatively characterized and is described by micromechanics models for composite materials. Furthermore, fractures in some practical fiber-reinforced BMG composites such as tungsten-reinforced Zr-based BMG are simulated. The relation between the enhanced fracture toughness and the mechanical properties of fiber reinforcements is determined. Different fracture modes of BMG-matrix composites are identified from the systematic simulation studies, which are found to be consistent with experiments. The simulation results suggest that the phase-field modeling approach could be a useful tool to assist the fabrication and design of BMG composites with high fracture toughness and ductility.

Origin of anomalous inverse notch effect in bulk metallic glasses

Understanding notch-related failure is crucial for the design of reliable engineering structures. However, substantial controversies exist in the literature on the notch effect in bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), and the underlying physical mechanism responsible for the apparent confusion is still poorly understood. Here we investigate the physical origin of an inverse notch effect in a Zr-based metallic glass, where the tensile strength of the material is dramatically enhanced, rather than decreased (as expected from the stress concentration point of view), by introduction of a notch. Our experiments and molecular dynamics simulations show that the seemingly anomalous inverse notch effect is in fact caused by a transition in failure mechanism from shear banding at the notch tip to cavitation and void coalescence. Based on our theoretical analysis, the transition occurs as the stress triaxiality in the notched sample exceeds a material-dependent threshold value. Our results fill the gap in the current understanding of BMG strength and failure mechanism by resolving the conflicts on notch effects and may inspire re-interpretation of previous reports on BMG fracture toughness where pre-existing notches were routinely adopted.
