Project Abstract:

Bulk metallic glasses are a new kind of materials which were discovered in 1990’s, the discovery opened a new research area for both fundamental science and engineering applications. The unique microstructures of bulk metallic glasses, e.g. absent of long range order, grain boundary, and dislocation, and with homogeneous metallography structure, lead the bulk metallic glasses to have unique properties compared with its counterpart-the crystalline materials. In this project, mechanical properties of the bulk metallic glasses and the bulk metallic glass matrix composites, such as compressions, tensions, and impacts properties, are systematically studied. The mechanical properties are analyzed by oof (object-oriented finite element analysis).
