We conducted comprehensive molecular dynamics simulations of the nanoindentation of
graphene reinforced composites to study the effect of graphene as a reinforcement and …

Unlike most existing works, where the focus has been to study the ballistic performance of
single and multilayer graphene sheets, our research is concerned with the ballistic …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been used extensively over the past two
decades to determine the mechanical and physical properties of nanomaterials. However …

Different multiscale techniques were developed over the past two decades for modeling
CNT-reinforced composites. However, these techniques contained numerous …

In this article, we report a series of MD-based nanoindentation tests aimed to examine the
nanotribological characteristics of metal-based nanocomposites in the presence of …

In this paper, we develop an efficient multiscale molecular dynamics (MD)–finite element
(FE) modeling scheme capable of determining the elastic and fracture properties of …

Disclinations in a 2D sheet create regions of Gaussian curvature whose inversion produces
a reconfigurable surface with many distinct metastable shapes, as shown by molecular …

Molecular dynamic (MD) simulations have been used to investigate the response of semi-
crystalline polymers in nanoindentation tests, using polyethylene (PE) as an example. To …

This dissertation is concerned with a micromechanical computational framework for the
direct mesoscale simulation of dynamic failure mechanisms in brittle polycrystalline …
