Using molecular-dynamics simulation, we study nanoindentation in fcc (Cu and Al) and bcc
(Fe and Ta) metals by a spherical indenter and investigate the size of the plastic zone …

Instrumented nanoindentation was used to investigate the hardness, elastic modulus, and
creep behavior of an austenitic Fe-20Cr-25Ni model alloy at room temperature, with the …

Using molecular-dynamics simulation, we study nanoindentation and scratching in an Fe (1
0 0) surface. We find an indentation hardness of 20 GPa in good agreement with experiment …

The influence of Si addition on the microstructure and mechanical behavior of cast silicon
stainless steel alloys was investigated. It was recognized that after incorporation of Si in the …

This chapter introduces the concepts that define the mechanical properties characterized by
nanoindentation, the fundamentals of nanoindentation, nanoindentation applications in …

Using molecular dynamics simulation, we study the nanoindentation of three hcp metals:
Mg, Ti, and Zr. Both the basal and two prismatic surface planes are considered. We focus on …

This chapter presents the basics of the method of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and
explains the issues to consider when applying it to nanoindentation. It focuses on the elastic …

Molecular dynamics simulation is used to identify and quantify the initial plastic deformation
mechanisms of gold as a model face-centered cubic (fcc) metal in the nanoindentation …

Using molecular-dynamics simulation, we study the scratching of Ti and Mg crystals by a
hard tip. Both the basal and a prismatic surface orientations are considered. We focus on the …

Using molecular dynamics simulation we study the influence of grain boundaries on the
indentation and scratching of Fe crystals by a hard repulsive tip. By comparing the results for …
