Fracture Simulations via Large-Scale Nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the historical development of large-scale nonequilibrium molecular-dynamics (NEMD) computer simulations of fracture at Los Alamos. We have found that dynamic crack propagation leads to energy buildup that seeds instabilities, such as dislocation emission and branching. Recent three-dimensional simulations have shed light on ductile fracture mechanisms, including sequences of dislocation emission in various modes that are strikingly diierent from anything previously conjectured. The future for constitutive modeling, based on observations of dynam-ical features in such NEMD simulations is quite bright, and one such example is discussed.

متن کاملNonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of heat flow in one-dimensional lattices
We study the use of the Evans nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) heat flow algorithm for the computation of the heat conductivity in one-dimensional lattices. For the well-known Fermi-Pasta-Ulam model, it is shown that when the heat field strength is greater than a certain critical value (which depends on the system size) solitons can be generated in molecular dynamics simulations startin...
