By using molecular dynamics simulations, the research examine how copper and silver nanowires respond to tensile loading in order to clarify their nanoscale deformation mechanisms. The results demonstrate that these two metal nanowires…
Onset of vacuum arcing near a metal surface is often associated with nanoscale asperities, which may dynamically appear due to different processes ongoing in the surface and subsurface layers in the presence of high electric fields.…
Nanocrystalline metals, i.e. metals in which the grain size is in the nanometer range, have a range of technologically interesting properties including increased hardness and yield strength. We present atomic-scale simulations of the…
Interactions between an edge dislocation and a void in copper are investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulation. The depinning stresses of the leading partial and of the trailing partial show qualitatively different behaviors. The…
Tension-compression asymmetry is a notable feature of plasticity in bcc single crystals. Recent experiments reveal striking differences in the plasticity of bcc nanopillars for tension and compression. Here we present results from molecular…
We conduct dislocation dynamics (DD) simulations of Fe periodic single crystals under tensile load at several high strain rates and temperatures. The simulations are enabled by the recent development of temperature-dependent dislocation…
The deformation behavior of single crystal and nanocrystalline nickel were studied using in situ micropillar compression experiments from quasi-static to high strain rates up to 10^3 s-1. Deformation occurred by dislocation slip activity in…
Hexagonal close-packed (hcp) titanium exhibits a complex temperature-dependent mechanical response that is central to its use in structural applications. We employ large-scale molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the…
Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations have been carried out to investigate the deformation behaviour of <110>/{111} body centered cubic (BCC) Fe nanowires under tensile and compressive loading. An embedded atom method (EAM) potential was used…
(Abridged, full abstract available in the text) The main goal of the study presented in this thesis was to perform in-situ investigations on deformation structures in plastically deformed polycrystalline copper at low degrees (<5%) of…
Nanocrystalline metals, i.e. metals with grain sizes from 5 to 50 nm, display technologically interesting properties, such as dramatically increased hardness, increasing with decreasing grain size. Due to the small grain size, direct…
A yield surface of a material is a set of critical stress conditions beyond which macroscopic plastic deformation begins. For crystalline solids, plastic deformation occurs through the motion of dislocations, which can be captured by…
Microscale dynamic testing is vital to the understanding of material behavior at application relevant strain rates. However, despite two decades of intense micromechanics research, the testing of microscale metals has been largely limited…
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to investigate the influence of mechanical strain on irradiation-induced defect and dislocation evolution in nickel single crystals subjected to cumulative overlapping 5 keV collision…
Atomistic simulations are performed to probe the anisotropic deformation in the compressions of face-centred-cubic metallic nanoparticles. In the elastic regime, the compressive load-depth behaviors can be characterized by the classical…
The yield surface in crystal plasticity can be approached from various directions during mechanical loading. We consider the competition between nanoindentation and tensile loading towards plastic yielding. For this purpose, we develop a…
Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to understand the variations in deformation mechanisms of Cu nanowires as a function of orientation and loading mode (tension or compression). Cu nanowires of different crystallographic…
Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to understand the influence of temperature on the tensile deformation and fracture behavior of $<$111$>$ BCC Fe nanowires. The simulations have been carried out at different temperatures in…
When compressed, a metallic specimen will generally experience changes to its crystallographic texture due to plasticity-induced rotation. Ultrafast x-ray diffraction techniques make it possible to measure rotation of this kind in targets…
It is now possible to create perfect crystal nanowires of many metals. The deformation of such objects requires a good understanding of the processes involved in plasticity at the nanoscale. Isotropic compression of such nanometre scale…
