Abstract

High-energy synchrotron x-rays were used to measure internal reinforcement strains in bulk metallic glass composites containing tungsten or tantalum particles during in-situ uniaxial tensile loading. Load transfer from the matrix to the stiffer but weaker particles was characterized in both their elastic and plastic regimes and compared to theoretical predictions.
