Mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of pristine and functionalized carbon nanotube reinforced metallic glass composites:A molecular dynamics approach

This work uses the molecular dynamics approach to study the effects of functionalization of carbon nanotubes(CNTs)on the mechanical properties of Cu64Zr36 metallic glass(MG).Three types of functional groups,carboxylic,vinyl and ester were used.The effect of CNT volume fraction(Vf)and the number of functional groups attached to CNT,on the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of CNT-MG composites was analysed using Biovia Materials Studio.At lower values of Vf(from 0 to 5%),the percentage increase in Young’s modulus was approximately 66%.As the value of Vf was increased further(from 5 to 12%),the rate of increase in Young’s modulus was reduced to 16%.The thermal conductivity was found to increase from 1.52 W/mK at Vf?0%to 5.88 W/mK at Vf?12%,thus giving an increase of approximately 286%.Functionalization of SWCNT reduced the thermal conductivity of the SWCNT-MG composites.

Interfacial characteristics and dynamic mechanical properties of W_f/Zr-based metallic glass matrix composites

Tungsten fiber reinforced Zr41.25Ti13.75Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 metallic glass matrix composites were fabricated by means of melt infiltration casting.Their dynamic compressive tests were performed using a Hopkinson bar.The relationship between the interfacial characteristics and the dynamic compressive behavior was investigated.The results indicate that the interface characteristics of composites include interfacial diffusion and interfacial reaction,and the interfacial shear strength increases when the interfacial reaction is serious.The dynamic plastic performance are improved obviously if the suitable interface reaction occurs.The failure occurs by shear and the fibers split longitudinally if there is no interface reaction or a little reaction;in contrast,holistic failure occurs if there is too much interface reaction.

Bulk metallic glass rings prepared by a modified water quenching method

Bulk metallic glass rings have the potential applications as annular gasket and active solder in special fields. The bulk metallic glass ring of ZГ41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10.0Be22.5 with the outer diameter, the inner diameter, and the thickness of 38, 36, and 5 mm, respectively, was prepared by using a special shaped quartz tube water quenching method. The mechanical properties along the whole cross section were investigated by a nanoindentation method, and no evident variation of the Young＇s modulus and hardness was found, further indicating the single amorphous structure. Amorphous ring and tube-shape parts with different dimensions can be produced by this method.

Effect of spatial heterogeneity on level of rejuvenation in Ni80P20 metallic glass

Understanding the relation between spatial heterogeneity and structural rejuvenation is one of the hottest topics in the field of metallic glasses(MGs).In this work,molecular dynamics(MD)simulation is implemented to discover the effects of initial spatial heterogeneity on the level of rejuvenation in the Ni_(80)P_(20)MGs.For this purpose,the samples are prepared with cooling rates of 10^(10) K/s-10^(12) K/s to make glassy alloys with different atomic configurations.Firstly,it is found that the increase in the cooling rate leads the Gaussian-type shear modulus distribution to widen,indicating the aggregations in both elastically soft and hard regions.After the primary evaluations,the elastostatic loading is also used to transform structural rejuvenation into the atomic configurations.The results indicate that the sample with intermediate structural heterogeneity prepared with 10^(11) K/s exhibits the maximum structural rejuvenation which is due to the fact that the atomic configuration in an intermediate structure contains more potential sites for generating the maximum atomic rearrangement and loosely packed regions under an external excitation.The features of atomic rearrangement and structural changes under the rejuvenation process are discussed in detail.

Spatial correlation of irreversible displacement in oscillatory-sheared metallic glasses

We report computer simulations on the oscillatory of Cu Zr metallic glasses at zero temperature with different shear amplitudes. In small system a homogenous shear deformation is found, while in large system an inhomogeneous shear deformation is found with a shear band formed. Concomitantly, spatial correlation of irreversible displacement exhibits an isotropic and exponential decay in the case of homogeneous deformation, whereas a mixed power-law and exponential decay in the case of anisotropic and inhomogeneous deformation. By projecting the azimuthal-dependent correlation function onto the spherical harmonics, we found a strong polar symmetry that accounts for the emerged shear band, and a weaker quadrupolar symmetry that accounts for the elastic filed generated by Eshelby inclusions. By this, we conclude that the anisotropy and decaying formula of the plastic correlation are dominated by the homogeneity or inhomogeneity for the deformation in the metallic glasses.

Mathematical modeling for dynamic stability of sandwich beam with variable mechanical properties of core

The paper is devoted to mathematical modelling of static and dynamic stability of a simply supported three-layered beam with a metal foam core. Mechanical properties of the core vary along the vertical direction. The field of displacements is for- mulated using the classical broken line hypothesis and the proposed nonlinear hypothesis that generalizes the classical one. Using both hypotheses, the strains are determined as well as the stresses of each layer. The kinetic energy, the elastic strain energy, and the work of load are also determined. The system of equations of motion is derived using Hamilton＇s principle. Finally, the system of three equations is reduced to one equation of motion, in particular, the Mathieu equation. The Bubnov-Galerkin method is used to solve the system of equations of motion, and the Runge-Kutta method is used to solve the second-order differential equation. Numerical calculations are done for the chosen family of beams. The critical loads, unstable regions, angular frequencies of the beam, and the static and dynamic equilibrium paths are calculated analytically and verified numerically. The results of this study are presented in the forms of figures and tables.

In-situ Dendrite/Metallic Glass Matrix Composites:A Review

The advanced fabrication of in-situ dendrite/metallic glass matrix （MGM） composites is reviewed. Herein, the semi- solid processing and Bridgman solidification are two methods, which can make the dendrites homogeneously dispersed within the metallic glass matrix. Upon quasi-static compressive loading at room temperature, almost all the in-situ composites exhibit improved plasticity, due to the effective block to the fast propagation of shear bands. Upon quasi-static tensile loading at room temperature, although the composites possess tensile ductility, the inhomogeneous deformation and associated softening dominates. High volume-fractioned dendrites and network structures make in-situ composites distinguishingly plastic upon dynamic compression. In-situ composite exhibits high tensile strength and softening （necking） in the supercooled liquid region, since the presence of high volume-fractioned dendrites lowers the rheology of the viscous glass matrix at high temperatures. At cryogenic temperatures, a distinguishingly-increased maximum strength is available; however, a ductile-to-brittle transition seems to be present by lowering the temperature. Besides, improved tension-tension fatigue limit of 473 MPa and four-point-bending fatigue limit of 567 MPa are gained for Zr58.5Ti14.3Nb5.2Cu6.1Ni4.9Be11.0 MGM composites. High volume-fraction dendrites within the glass matrix induce increased effectiveness on the blunting and propagating resistance of the fatigue-crack tip. The fracture toughness of in-situ composites is comparable to those of the toughest steels and crystalline Ti alloys. During steady-state crack-growth, the confinement of damage by in-situ dendrites results in enhancement of the toughness.

Enhanced tensile plasticity of a CuZr-based bulk metallic glass composite induced by ion irradiation

N^+ ion irradiation is utilized to tune the structure and mechanical properties of a Cu48Zr47.2Al4Nb0.8 bulk metallic glass composite(BMGC). Ion irradiation increases the disorder near the surface, as probed by neutron diffraction, and, moreover, causes the phase transformation from B2Cu Zr to B19’ CuZr martensitic phase in the studied BMGC. The tensile plasticity of the BMGC is dramatically improved after ion irradiation, which results from multiple shear banding on the surface and the martensitic transformation of the B2 to B19’ Cu Zr martensitic phase. The experimental results are strongly corroborated by complementary molecular dynamic simulations.
