Numerical Analysis of the Impact Fracture of Metallic Glass Based on Free Volume Model

Abstract:

The yield behavior of amorphous metals including the metallic glass shows intrinsic dependence on the hydrostatic stress, so that yield criterion models such as Mohr-Coulomb and Drucker-Prager are often used. Both the models can explain the asymmetry in the yield stress under uniaxial compression and tension conditions, while the asymmetry in the angle of fracture surface is not able to be determined based on any of those models. The free volume model is able to provide that foundation. Shibutani et al. proposed a new constitutive model for amorphous metals that was derived from some free volume models and the flow rule using the Drucker-Prager yield function as a plastic potential, and investigated the yield behavior and the formation of localized shear band under some temperature conditions using the implicit static FEM code. The formation of shear bands is an unstable phenomenon that is greatly affected by the initial imperfection. In this model, on the other hand, the temperature or the strain rate also affects the yield behavior considerably. In this study, the impact fracture of metallic glass was investigated by implementing the constitutive model proposed by Shibutani et al. into the explicit dynamic FEM code DYNA3D, with laying emphasis on reproducing asymmetry in the angle of fracture surface and the examination of effects of strain rate and temperature change.
