The strength of a material is assessed most often by means of a tensile test. For a given material with an original cross-section area A0, if the applied maximum tensile force is equal to Fmax, the fracture strength can be calculated by δF=Fmax/A0, as described in the textbooks.[1,2] For a bulk metallic glassy specimen, it often fails in a shear mode, as shown in Figure 1, and the shear fracture surface makes an angle of ΘT =56° with respect to the tension axis. Such shear fracture behavior has been widely observed in many metallic glasses, as summarized in the literatures[3,4] and Table 1.[5–14] According to the definition in the textbooks,[1,2] the tensile fracture strength of the metallic glass should be equal to rT=Fmax/A0. However, the actual area of the shear fracture surface becomes A0/sin(ΘT) and the applied normal tensile force on the shear plane is Fmax cos(hT), as shown in Figure 1. This will result in another tensile strength Fmaxsin(ΘT)cos(ΘT)/A0, which is different from that (Fmax/A0) defined in textbooks.[1,2] Consequently, this gives rise to some interesting and significant questions. Which is the real tensile strength of a metallic glass, Fmax/A0 or Fmaxsin(ΘT)cos(ΘT)/A0? Why do metallic glasses often fail neither along the maximum normal stress plane (ΘT =90°) nor along the maximum shear stress plane (ΘTT =45 °) under tensile loading[5–14]? What is the physical nature of the materials strength?
