Grain size has a profound effect on the mechanical response of metals. Molecular dynamics
continues to expand its range from a handful of atoms to grain sizes up to 50 nm, albeit …

The aim of this Tutorial is to help new researchers understand how to perform molecular
dynamics (MD) simulations of the shock response of materials and to provide a brief …

The extraordinary work hardening ability and fracture toughness of the face-centered cubic
(fcc) high-entropy alloys render them ideal candidates for many structural applications. Here …

Using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, we studied the crystallographic-
orientation-dependence shock-induced plasticity for the face-centered cubic (FCC) …

The ultimate strength of materials is reached at strain rates approaching the Debye
frequency, when the deformation time at the atomic scale approaches the time for atoms to …

Materials respond to shock in many ways such as plastic flow in metals and amorphization
in ceramics. It is very challenging to characterize the deformation mechanisms of ceramics …

The dynamic response of crystalline Cu-amorphous Cu 63 Zr 37 nanolaminates under
shock loading has been investigated in the present study by atomistic simulations to provide …

In engineering applications, various types of defects inevitably exist in materials which
would critically affect their properties. By introducing an edge dislocation into the model of …

Coupling between plasticity and martensitic transformation is the origin of many properties of
the material exhibiting martensitic phase transition, such as transition induced plasticity …

Molecular dynamics simulations have been used to investigate the coupling process
between plasticity and structural phase transformation in single-crystal iron under both …
