Molecular dynamics simulations and experimental studies of the thermomechanical response of an epoxy thermoset polymer
We report a detailed comparison between molecular dynamics predictions and experimental results for a wide range of thermo-mechanical properties of an epoxy resin system: diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) cured with 3,30 diamino-diphenyl sulfone (33DDS). A set of carefully designed and characterized experiments provides validation data for the simulations that predict the molecular struct...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations on cyclic deformation of an epoxy thermoset
We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the thermo-mechanical response of a thermosetting polymer (diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A with 3,30diamino-Diphenylsulfone) subject to cyclic loading for a family of tri-axial deformation paths and two different load levels and strain rates. We focus on how the relative amount of deviatoric and volumetric deformation affects strain accumulation an...
متن کاملIdeal Brittle Fracture of Silicon Studied with Molecular Dynamics
Silicon is very brittle and a wafer dropped on the floor easily shatters. A clue to explaining why comes from static cracks. Even at room temperature, static cracks in silicon can have tips that are atomically sharp [1], and there is every reason to believe that crystals can be severed very efficiently by the propagation of such sharp cracks. Relations between crack speed and energy consumption...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Study for Experimental Design Guideline of Dimeric Anthracene-based Mechanophore in the Thermoset Polymer Matrix
This paper presents a molecular level trade-off analysis on mechanophore embedded thermoset polymer matrix between its self-sensing capability and critical mechanical properties affecting performance. Dimeric 9-anthracene carboxylic acid (Di-AC), a mechanophore, was synthesized in epoxy polymer, and with the application of mechanical load, fluorescence was observed under ultraviolet (UV) excita...
متن کاملA molecular-dynamics study of ductile and brittle fracture in model noncrystalline solids
Molecular-dynamics simulations of fracture in metallic glass-like systems are observed to undergo embrittlement due to a small change in interatomic potential. This change in fracture toughness, however, is not accompanied by a corresponding change in flow stress. Theories of brittle fracture proposed by Freund and Hutchinson indicate that strain rate sensitivity is the controling physical para...
