Dislocation Emission from a Three-dimensional Crack | a Large-scale Molecular Dynamics Study

چکیده

A series of massively parallel molecular dynamics simulations with up to 35 million atoms is performed to investigate dislocation emission from a three-dimensional crack. We observe dislocation loops emitted from the crack front|the rst time this has been seen in computer simulations. The sequence of dislocation emission in the process of crack blunting process strongly depends on the crystallographic orientation of the crack front and diiers strikingly from anything previously conjectured. This nding is essential to establish a precise dislocation emission criterion (i.e. intrinsic ductility criterion). We also nd that boundary conditions and interatomic force laws have a signiicant eeect on jogging or blunting dislocation emission modes.

Fracture Simulations via Large-Scale Nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics

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 disloca...

Large-Scale Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Three-Dimensional Ductile Fracture

We have performed massively parallel 3D molecular dynamics simulations with up to 35 million atoms to investigate ductile fracture. We have obtained mechanistic information at the atomistic level inaccessible to experiment. We observe dislocation loops emitted from the crack front|the rst time this has been seen in computer simulations. The sequence of dislocation emission (crack blunting proce...

Crack propagation in a Tantalum nano-slab

Using molecular dynamics with an accurate many-body potential for metallic Tantalum, we studied crack propagation in a pre-notched nano-slab under uniaxial strain in a [100] direction. We study dislocation emission from the crack tip for various strain rate and temperatures, focusing on the influence of the local temperature at the crack tip on the propagation of the crack. We find a close conn...
