Characterization of the deformation behaviors under uniaxial stress for bicontinuous nanoporous amorphous alloys

Abstract

In this paper, the deformation behaviors of Cu50Zr50 bicontinuous nanoporous amorphous alloys (BNAMs) under uniaxial tension/compression are explored by molecular dynamics simulations. Scaling laws between mechanical properties and relative density are investigated. The results demonstrate that the bending deformation of the ligament is the main elastic deformation mechanism under tension. Necking and subsequent fracture of ligaments are the primary failure mechanism under tension. Under tensile loading, shear bands emerge near the plastic hinges for the BNAMs with large porosities. The typical compressive behaviors of porous structure are observed in the BNAMs with large porosities. However, for small porosity, no distinguished plateau and densification are captured under compression. The tension–compression asymmetry of modulus increases with increasing porosity, whereas the BNAMs can be seen as tension–compression symmetry of yield strength. The modulus and yield strength are negatively correlated with temperature, but a positive relationship between the tensile ductility and temperature is shown. This work will help to provide a useful understanding of the mechanical behaviors of the BNAMs.
