On amorphization as a deformation mechanism under high stresses
Hosni Idrissi, Philippe Carrez, Patrick Cordier
Abstract
In this paper we review the work related to amorphization under mechanical stress. Beyond pressure, we highlight the role of deviatoric or shear stresses. We show that the most recent works make amorphization appear as a deformation mechanism in its own right, in particular under extreme conditions (shocks, deformations under high stresses, high strain-rates).
