Abstract Carbon nanomaterials are considered as one of the ideal choices for high performance metal matrix composite reinforcements and one of the key directions of scientific research in recent years. Molecular dynamics simulation could be used conveniently to construct different composite material systems and study the properties of carbon nanomaterials reinforced metal matrix composites under different conditions. This review mainly introduces the molecular dynamic research progress of carbon nanotube (CNT) and graphene reinforced metal (Cu, Al, Ni) composites. The potential functions of the carbon nanomaterials reinforced metal matrix composite simulation systems are briefly introduced. The dependence of the mechanical properties of metal matrix composites on the sizes, volume fraction, and distribution states of CNT and graphene is detailed discussed. Finally, we briefly summarize the future development direction of the molecular dynamic simulation with respect to carbon nanomaterials reinforced metal matrix composites.

To explore effects of air humidity on properties of JO-9159 explosive, the amorphous model of six components was constructed by Materials Studio software, periodic molecular dynamics simulation was conducted at seven kinds of relative humidity ranging from 10% to 70% for (001), (010), (100) crystal planes of JO-9159 explosive in COMPASS force field and NVT ensemble. Mechanical properties, sensitivity and detonation properties of JO-9159 explosive were researched basing on equilibrium trajectory of model. The results show that with the increasing of relative humidity, the total adsorption energy increases. The adsorption capacity of JO-9159 explosive for H2O is much stronger than O2 and N2; The breaking strength has a decreasing trend with the humidity increases and the stiffness and hardness of JO-9159 explosive are smaller at 30% and 40% relative humidity; At 30% relative humidity, the sensitivity of JO-9159 explosive is highest and detonation properties are weakest, while the detonation properties are strongest at 20% relative humidity.
