From: Necking and notch strengthening in metallic glass with symmetric sharp-and-deep notches
Illustrations of the effect of notch depth.
(a) Notched MG structures investigated. Left panel: a = 2 nm and b = 5 nm, Middle panel: a = 4 nm and b = 10 nm and Right panel: a = 6 nm and b = 15 nm, the same notch size in Fig. 1. (b) Snapshots show the failure behaviors for the notched MGs with the different notch depths. The color in (b) indicates the atomic local shear strain. (c) The stress profile along the reduced cross-section in the notch region with three different notch depths.
