Mechanical response of sodium silicate glass
We propose a new method using coarse-graining and molecular dynamics to calculate structural and mechanical properties for sodium silicate glasses at different scales. Using this method we were able to describe the mechanical behavior of the material, this way a new constitutive model was developed which could be used in continuum calculations.
متن کاملStructure and dynamics of bioactive phosphosilicate glasses and melts from ab initio molecular dynamics simulations
Ab initio Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to investigate the melt precursor of a modified phosphosilicate glass with bioactive properties, and to quench the melt to the vitreous state. The properties of the 3000 K liquid were extensively compared with those of the final glass structure. The melt is characterized by a significant fraction of structural defects smal...
متن کاملA new self-consistent empirical interatomic potential model for oxides, silicates, and silica-based glasses.
A new empirical pairwise potential model for ionic and semi-ionic oxides has been developed. Its transferability and reliability have been demonstrated by testing the potentials toward the prediction of structural and mechanical properties of a wide range of silicates of technological and geological importance. The partial ionic charge model with a Morse function is used, and it allows the mode...

متن کاملFracture Toughness Anomalies: Viewpoint of Topological Constraint Theory
The relationship between composition, structure, and resistance to fracture remains poorly understood. Here, based on molecular dynamics simulations, we report that 1 sodium silicate glasses (NS) and calcium–silicate–hydrates (CSH) feature an anomalous maximum in fracture toughness. In the framework of topological constraint theory, this anomaly is correlated to a flexible-to-rigid transition, ...
