Effect of free volume changes and residual stresses on the fatigue and fracture behavior of a Zr-Ti-Ni-Cu-Be bulk metallic glass Start: 2008-05-07 16:00 End: 2008-05-07 18:00 In order to help understand the wide scatter in the reported fatigue properties reported for bulk metallic glasses, the roles of free volume and residual stress in affecting the fracture and fatigue behavior of a Zr44Ti11Ni10Cu10Be25 bulk metallic glass were examined. Different residual stress and free volume states were achieved by annealing below the glass transition temperature.
