The design of such components through computer simulations requires the input of a faithful set of continuum-based constitutive equations. However, one long-standing controversial issue in modeling the plastic behavior of metallic glasses at the continuum level is the use of the most appropriate plastic yield criterion and flow rule. Guided by a series of molecular dynamics simulations conducted at low-homologous temperatures under homogeneous deformations, we quantitatively prove that the continuum plastic behavior in metallic glasses is most accurately described by a von Mises-type plastic yield criterion and flow rule.en0003-69512015051903051903American Institute of Physics (AIP)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/metallic glassesplastic yieldPhysikJournal Articleurn:nbn:de:gbv:830-882.03478210.15480/882.225010.1063/1.490739810.15480/882.2250Other
