The sample size effect in metallic glass deformation
Abstract The sample size effect on deformation mode of glasses is one of the most misunderstood properties of this class of material. This effect is intriguing, since materials deemed macroscopically brittle become plastic at small size. We propose an explanation of this phenomenon for metallic glas...

Abstract The sample size effect on deformation mode of glasses is one of the most misunderstood properties of this class of material. This effect is intriguing, since materials deemed macroscopically brittle become plastic at small size. We propose an explanation of this phenomenon for metallic glasses. A thermodynamic description of the local rearrangement zones activated under an applied stress is proposed. Using the Poisson distribution to describe the statistics of these zones and the statistical physics to associate entropy, we define a critical sample size for the change in the deformation mode. Predictions are in agreement with experimental observations and reveal hidden structural parameters describing the glassy state. |
