The fast dynamics and localized nature of shear banding together with the disordered
structure of metallic glasses make it difficult to gain an understanding of the mechanism of …

Disordered solids are ubiquitous in engineering and everyday use. Although research has
made considerable progress in the last decades, our understanding of the mechanics of …

There are empirical strategies for tuning the degree of strain localization in disordered
solids, but they are system-specific and no theoretical framework explains their effectiveness …

A mesoscale numerical model based on shear transformation zone (STZ) theory is
implemented in a commercial finite element software. The model is designed to predict the …

The safety and energy density of solid-state batteries can be, in principle, substantially
increased compared with that of conventional lithium-ion batteries. However, the use of solid …

In amorphous materials, plasticity is localized and occurs as shear transformations. It was
recently shown by Wu et al. that these shear transformations can be predicted by applying …

Amorphous materials are also distinguished from crystals by their thermal properties. The
structural disorder seems to be responsible both for a significant increase in heat capacity …

We report an initial investigation of the rheology of Mg 2 SiO 4 glass through classical
molecular dynamics simulations. We performed simple shear tests at different temperatures …

When a body is exposed to external forces large local stresses may occur at the surface
because of surface roughness. Surface stress concentration is important for many …

Pin-on-plane dry friction tests of Ni-based and Zr-based bulk metallic glasses were
performed at ambient temperature under reciprocating sliding condition at 4 mm/s, under …
