Computer model predicts how fracturing metallic glass releases energy at the atomic level
Metallic glasses are an exciting research target, but the difficulties associated with predicting how much energy these materials release when they fracture is slowing down development of metallic glass-based products. Recently, researchers developed a way of simulating to the atomic level how metallic glasses behave as they fracture. This modeling technique could improve computer-aided materials design and help researchers determine the properties of metallic glasses.Source: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/07/180719104828.htm
