We investigate, by molecular dynamics simulation, the generic features associated with the dynamic compaction of metallic nano-foams at very high strain rates. A universal feature of the dynamic compaction process is revealed as composed of…
The compression of a low-density copper foam was simulated with a radiation, hydrodynamics code. In one simulation, the foam had a density of $\rho_0 = 1.3407$ g/cm$^3$, 15% the density of copper at standard temperature and pressure, and…
The paper concerns the nanopowder high-speed, $10^4$ - $10^9$ s${}^{-1}$, compaction processes modeling by a two-dimensional granular dynamics method. Nanoparticles interaction, in addition to known contact laws, included dispersive…
We show that the plastic deformation of snow under uniaxial compression is characterized by complex spatio-temporal strain localization phenomena. Deformation is characterized by repeated nucleation and propagation of compaction bands.…
Transparent Al2O3 ceramics have attracted considerable interest for use in a wide range of optical, electronic and structural applications. The fabrication of these ceramics using powder metallurgy processes requires the development of…
Two granular systems (I and II) corresponding oxide nanopowders having different agglomeration tendency are simulated by the granular dynamics method. The particle size is 10 nanometer. The interaction of particles involves the elastic…
The goal of this PhD thesis was to characterize the properties of friction in nanotubes and from a more general point of view the understanding of the microscopic origin of friction. Indeed, the relative simplicity of the system allows us…
The jumping-droplet condensation, namely the out-of-plane jumping of condensed droplets upon coalescence, has been a promising technical innovation in the fields of energy harvesting, droplet manipulation, thermal management, etc., yet is…
Different compaction processes of the nanosized granular system, which is a prototype of an alumina nanopowder, are studied by the granular dynamics method. For all processes: compaction curves ''density vs. pressure'' of the powder compact…
We analyze the isotropic compaction of mixtures composed of rigid and deformable incompressible particles by the non-smooth contact dynamics approach (NSCD). The deformable bodies are simulated using a hyper-elastic neo-Hookean constitutive…
The friction between concentric carbon nanotubes sliding one inside the other has been widely studied and simulated, but not so far using external force as the driving variable. Our molecular dynamics (MD) simulations show that as the…
The compaction dynamics of a granular media subject to a sequence of vertical taps made of fluid pulses is investigated via Molecular Dynamics simulations. Our study focuses on three different levels: macroscopic (volume fraction),…
The interaction of mass-selected atomic clusters and nanoparticles with surfaces attracts strong interest in view of fundamental research and technological applications. Understanding dynamics of the deposition process is important for…
Collisions between amorphous Fe nanoparticles were studied using molecular-dynamics simulation. For head-on collisions of nanoparticles with radii $R =$ 1.4 nm, $R =$ 5.2 nm, and $R =$ 11 nm, sticking was observed at all simulated…
The structural evolution of a nano-powder by repeated dispersion and settling can lead to characteristic fractal substructures. This is shown by numerical simulations of a two-dimensional model agglomerate of adhesive rigid particles. The…
This paper analyzes the compaction behavior of assemblies composed of soft (elastic) spherical particles beyond the jammed state, using three-dimensional non-smooth contact dynamic simulations. The assemblies of particles are characterized…
While evaporating solvent is a widely used technique to assemble nano-sized objects into desired superstructures, there has been limited work on how the assembled structures are affected by the physical aspects of the process. We present…
It is shown using the method of molecular dynamics that the motion of carbon nanoparticles (rectangular graphene flakes, spherical fullerenes of size $L<10$ nm) on the surface of a thermalized graphene sheet lying on a flat substrate can be…
Metal-polymer nanocomposites have been investigated extensively during the last years due to their interesting functional applications. They are often produced by vapor phase deposition which generally leads to the self-organized formation…
The pervasive phenomenon of friction has been studied at the nanoscale by controlled manipulation of single atoms and molecules, which permitted a precise determination of the static friction force necessary to initiate motion. However,…
