dc.description.abstractThe undulatory behaviour is a unique type of mechanical response that was recently observed for metallic glass foils in geometric confinement. It is manifested when normal load is applied on the top of an arc-shaped thin foil of metallic glass; the foil then deforms elastically and its shape changes by progressively increasing the number of formed sinusoidal arcs. This behaviour results from a combination of successive elastic bending and buckling events and can be utilized for developing novel types of non-linear springs. In this work, the undulatory behaviour of a Ni-Fe-Si-B-Mo metallic glass foil has been systematically studied and compared with that of the previously reported Fe-Cr-Si-B foil. The results indicate that the alloy composition and the foil thickness can significantly affect the load required for the formation of the harmonic undulations. The initial geometry of the formed sinusoidal arc including its amplitude and boundary length, can also be used to tune the load and displacement response of the foils. Upon unloading, the foil returns to its initial shape, as long as the loading remains in the elastic deformation range of the metallic glass. The findings suggest that the undulatory behaviour of thin metallic glass foils can be potentially exploited for a wide range of engineering applications including micro-springs, sensors, actuators, and shock absorbers.en_UK
