Porous Bulk Metallic Glasses have been found to be mechanically superior under compressive stress states.
In our following paper published in Journal of Applied Mechanics, we investigated the response of a typical porous Bulk Metallic Glass subjected to various stress states through three dimensional elasto-plastic finite element simulations. The paper is here: 'Three dimensional unit cell study of a porous bulk metallic glass under various stress states'.
This has implications for design of structures made of porous BMGs.
I hope you enjoy reading the paper and find it useful in your research.
