Reinforced by nanowires (NWs), carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and NW encapsulated CNT (NW@CNT), tensile behavior of various types of Cu-Zr based metallic glass (MG) nanocomposites are studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. It is observed that pure two-toms alloy MG and the one reinforced with bigger CNT demonstrates higher tensile properties than other types of MGs. Further, it is observed that the ultimate strength of reinforced MGs with individual CNTs is slightly higher than that of NW@CNT reinforced analogous. In this case, it is noticed that reinforced three-atoms Cu-Zr MG nanocomposites including Ti atoms demonstrate the highest ultimate strength and strain.
