Quasicontinuum Models of Interfacial Structure and Deformation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microscopic models of the interaction between grain boundaries (GBs) and both dislocations and cracks are of importance in understanding the role of microstructure in altering the mechanical properties of a material. A recently developed mixed atomistic and continuum method is reformulated to allow for the examination of the interactions between GBs, dislocations, and cracks. These calculations elucidate plausible microscopic mechanisms for these defect interactions and allow for the quantitative evaluation of critical parameters such as the force needed to induce GB migration.

Quasicontinuum modeling of short-wave instabilities in crystal lattices
We propose a new hybrid quasicontinuum model which captures both long and short-wave instabilities of crystal lattices and combines the advantages of weakly nonlocal (gradient) and strongly nonlocal continuum models. To illustrate the idea we consider a simple one-dimensional lattice exhibiting commensurate and incommensurate short-wave instabilities and compute stability limits for the homogen...
متن کاملA Multilattice Quasicontinuum for Phase Transforming Materials: Cascading Cauchy Born Kinematics
The quasicontinuum (QC) method is applied to materials possessing a multilattice crystal structure. Cauchy-Born (CB) kinematics, which accounts for the shifts of the crystal basis, is used in continuum regions to relate atomic motions to continuum deformation gradients. To avoid failures of the CB kinematics, QC is augmented with a phonon stability analysis that detects lattice period extension...
متن کاملA Study on Structure and Property of Special Sulfonated Petroleum as a Complicated Anionic Surfactant
Alkaline/surfactant/polymer (ASP) flooding has been extensively applied to enhancing oil recovery. As an oil displacement agent, pe1troleum sulfonate (PS) is widely used in ASP pilot experiments. It is very important to find a petroleum sulfonate with a high interfacial activity and low adsorption loss. Anionic surfactant petroleum sulfonate is synthesized in a single-tube film sulfonation reac...

Mn doped ZnO nanocrystals were prepared by co-precipitation route sintered at 450 °C temperature. XRD results indicate that the samples having hexagonal (wurtzite) structure. From X-ray data it is found that the lattice parameters increase with increasing Mn concentration. The X-ray density decreases with increasing Mn concentration of Zn 1-x Mnx O nanocrystals. It indicates that the Mn...
متن کاملAnalysis of Laminated Soft Core Sandwich Plate Having Interfacial Imperfections by an Efficient C0 FE Model
An efficient C0 continuous two dimensional (2D) finite element (FE) model is developed based on a refined higher order shear deformation theory (RHSDT) for the static analysis of soft core sandwich plate having imperfections at the layer interfaces. In this (RHSDT) theory, the in-plane displacement field for the face sheets and the core is obtained by superposing a globally varying cubic displa...
