Abstract

Using an infrared camera, we observed in situ dynamic shear-banding operations during compression of a bulk metallic glass at various strain rates. We demonstrated that the shear-banding events are highly dependent on strain rates, either intermittent at the lower strain rate or successive at the higher strain rate. Serrated plastic-flow behaviors are a result of shear-banding operations. These observations provide a new insight into inhomogeneous deformation of metallic glasses.
