TL;DR: In this article, a Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 alloy, machined into 7 mm wide, 38 mm thick compact-tension specimens and fatigue precracked following standard procedures, revealed fracture toughnesses in the fully amorphous structure of K(lc)similar to 55 MPa root m, i.e., comparable with that of a high-strength steel or aluminum ahoy.

TL;DR: The fracture and fatigue properties of a newly developed bulk metallic glass alloy, Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5 Ni10Be22.5 (at. pct), have been examined as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructures, secondary phases, and grain boundaries were characterized using a range of analytical techniques including TEM, SEM, AES, and XRD, and the fracture toughness was derived either from bend tests of beam-shaped samples with a controlled surface flaw or from standard disk-shaped compact-tension specimens precracked in cyclic fatigue.

TL;DR: In this paper, fracture and cyclic fatigue-crack growth behavior was made in a reactively hot-pressed monolithic Ti{sub 3}SiC{sub 2} ceramic with both fine (3--10 {mu}m) and coarse-grained (50--200 m) microstructures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the S/N behavior of a bulk amorphous Zr-Ti-Cu-Ni-Be alloy was investigated, with the objective of examining the relationship between fatigue crack initiation and propagation in comparison to behavior in traditional crystalline alloys.
