Title: | Loading-rate-independent delay of catastrophic avalanches in a bulk metallic glass | Authors: | Chen, SH Chan, KC Wang, G Wu, FF Xia, L Ren, JL Li, J Dahmen, KA Liaw, PK |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Source: | Scientific reports, 25 2016, v. 6, no. , p. 1-13 | Abstract: | The plastic flow of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) is characterized by intermittent bursts of avalanches, and this trend results in disastrous failures of BMGs. In the present work, a double-side-notched BMG specimen is designed, which exhibits chaotic plastic flows consisting of several catastrophic avalanches under the applied loading. The disastrous shear avalanches have, then, been delayed by forming a stable plastic-flow stage in the specimens with tailored distances between the bottoms of the notches, where the distribution of a complex stress field is acquired. Differing from the conventional compressive testing results, such a delaying process is independent of loading rate. The statistical analysis shows that in the specimens with delayed catastrophic failures, the plastic flow can evolve to a critical dynamics, making the catastrophic failure more predictable than the ones with chaotic plastic flows. The findings are of significance in understanding the plastic-flow mechanisms in BMGs and controlling the avalanches in relating solids. | Publisher: | Nature Publishing Group | Journal: | Scientific reports | EISSN: | 2045-2322 | DOI: | 10.1038/srep21967 | Rights: | This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
