Abstract For all engineering materials, the flaws are introduced inevitably from
fabrication, mechanical damage, and corrosion. These stress raisers always
induce catastrophic failures and it is therefore of great importance to understand
the effect of flaws on the mechanical properties of engineering materials. The
effect of flaws on metallic glasses (MGs) is a debatable topic because many
relevant works have reported notch strengthening, notch weakening and notch
insensitivity for brittle MGs. The significant notch strengthening of MGs was
attributed to the transition of failure mechanism, from catastrophic shear banding
to ductile fracture. Here we investigate systematically… More >
