Nonaffine Strains Control Ductility of Metallic Glasses

The origin of limited plasticity in metallic glasses is elusive, with no apparent link to their atomic structure. In this study, we propose that the response of the glassy structure to applied stress, not the original structure itself, provides a gauge to predict the degree of plasticity. We carried out high-energy x-ray diffraction on various bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) under uniaxial compression within the elastic limit and evaluated the anisotropic pair distribution function. We show that the extent of local deviation from the affine (uniform) deformation in the elastic regime is strongly correlated with the plastic behavior of BMGs beyond yield, across chemical compositions and sample history. The results suggest that the propensity for collective local atomic rearrangements under stress promotes plasticity.

Genome Sequences of Frankineae sp. Strain MT45 and Jatrophihabitans sp. Strain GAS493, Two Actinobacteria Isolated from Forest Soil

Frankiaceae are bacterial endosymbionts that are also found free-living in soil. Here, we present the genome sequences of two novel bacterial members of the order Frankiales , class Actinobacteria , isolated from temperate terrestrial forest soils. The genomes for MT45 and GAS493 indicate a genetic capacity for carbohydrate degradation but not nitrogen fixation.

Progress Summary: Simulating stochastic and additively manufactured foams at large strains and high strain rates

Motivation: Understanding the mechanical response of polymer foams is essential in developing system material models and in designing replacements for legacy pads and cushions. Simulations can help elucidate structure-property relationships and compare local stress distributions to understand aging behavior and improve designs. In many applications,these materials experience significant loadings and computations need the capability to reproduce those conditions. Significance: In designing the compressive and shear response of additively manufactured foams, we expect the curvature of the substrate to influence their mechanical behavior. Progress:We have the capability of mapping planar structures to arbitrary curved surfaces and are currently developing the software and procedures to translate the mapped pattern into a geometrical model that can be imported to either finite element or material point software to evaluate the mechanical response. Figure 1 depicts a four-layer face-centered tetragonal pattern (FCT) mapped to a hemispherical surface. Because the mapping cannot exactly preserve both distances and angles, we expect some local variation in mechanical properties and porosity. These models will help determine the sensitivity of these variations to structure and curvature, optimize the mapping procedure, and inform the design of foams for non-planar surfaces.

Understanding the mechanical response of polymer foams is essential in developing system material models and in designing replacements for legacy pads and cushions. Simulations can help elucidate structure-property relationships and compare local stress distributions to understand aging behavior and improve designs. In many applications, these materials experience significant loadings and computations need the capability to reproduce those conditions. We are applying are previously developed material point method (MPM) simulation capability to understand the aging properties of loaded direct ink write (DIW) resins.
