Abstract

The dynamic uniaxial compressive behavior of Zr-based metallic glasses under a wide high strain rate was studied by a miniaturized split Hopkinson pressure bar, including high strain rate up to 104 s−1. Experimental results indicate that the uniaxial compressive failure stress would decrease suddenly and then tend to hold steady with increasing strain rate. This phenomenon provides a generalized perspective for understanding the effect of local heat generation on the deformation of metallic glasses under dynamic loads.
