Achieving both high strength and sufficient plasticity in metallic materials under dynamic loading remains a longstanding challenge. In this study, tungsten-particle-reinforced bulk metallic glass composites (Wp/BMGCs) were fabricated via spark plasma sintering (SPS), and their dynamic compressive mechanical properties were systematically investigated at high strain rates (10³ ∼ 5 × 10³ s⁻¹). The results show that Wp/BMGCs exhibit outstanding dynamic performance, with a yield strength of 4000 MPa, a plastic strain of 12 %, and positive strain rate sensitivity. This enhanced behavior originates from interfacial strain gradients generated by the inherent elastic modulus mismatch between Wp and the metallic glass matrix, which induce the accumulation of geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) within the Wp. Under dynamic loading, the dislocation-free, high shear-strength metallic glass matrix exerts a back-stress on dislocations in adjacent Wp, thereby impeding dislocation glide and enhancing the apparent deformation resistance of the Wp phase. Additionally, Wp effectively suppress catastrophic shear band propagation while promoting the nucleation and proliferation of multiple secondary shear bands in the matrix. This dual mechanism significantly improves phase-coordinated deformation, ultimately contributing to the superior yield strength and plastic strain. Based on these insights, a dislocation-based strengthening mechanism was incorporated into the Johnson-Cook constitutive model. The modified framework accurately captures the effects of particle size and volume fraction on the dynamic response, showing strong agreement with experimental results.
