The void shape significantly affects the mechanical properties of nanoporous metallic
glasses (NPMGs) under conventional loading. However, how the shock responses of …

Crack propagation is the major vehicle for material failure, but the mechanisms by which
cracks propagate remain longstanding riddles, especially for glassy materials with a long …

Mean-field theory is extensively used in statistical physics, solid-state physics, and
biophysics to compress a large number of interacting multi-body problems into an effective …

This study aimed to quantitatively characterize and model the evolution of yield strength of
amorphous polymers with temperature and strain rate with an emphasis on temperature …

The mechanical properties of cellular metallic glasses (MGs) are governed by the shape of
their cellular structures. We employ finite element method analysis to characterize the …

Metallic glasses (MGs) are potential engineering materials, however their ductility is
currently a limiting factor. Despite significant attempts to improve their fracture toughness …

Recent experimental and computational studies at different scales reveal an apparent flow-
induced anisotropy of the inelastic deformation behaviour in metallic glasses (MGs) …

In an earlier work (Tang et al., 2020), we derived evolution equations governing dynamic
void growth in amorphous materials with a number of idealizing assumptions. Here, we …

This paper investigates void growth and coalescence in porous ductile solids under dynamic
loading condition. A physical definition for the onset of void coalescence in porous ductile …

The competition between physical aging and structural rejuvenation determines the physical
and mechanical properties of glassy materials. Thus, the rejuvenation-aging boundary must …
