Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to study the mechanical properties of nanocrystalline 316L stainless steel under tensile load. The results revealed that the Young’s modulus increased with increasing grain size below the critical average grain size. Two grain size regions were identified in the plot of yield stress. In the first region, corresponding to grain sizes above 7.7 nm, the yield stress decreased with increasing grain size and the dominant deformation mechanisms were deformation twinning and extended dislocation. In the second region, corresponding to grain sizes below 7.7 nm, the yield stress decreased rapidly with decreasing grain size and the dominant deformation mechanisms were grain boundary sliding and also grain rotation. The yield strength and Young’s modulus were both found to decrease with increasing temperature, which increased the interatomic distance and thereby decreased the interatomic bonding force.

The roles of interfaces and matrix grain size in the deformation and failure of polycrystalline Cu–graphene nanolayered (PCuGNL) composites under shear loading are explored with molecular dynamics simulations for different repeat layer spacings (λ), Cu grain sizes (D) and graphene chiralities, and an analytical model is proposed to describe the shear behavior.

Thermophysical properties of liquid dibromomethane are investigated by molecular dynamics simulations between 268 and 328 K at pressures up to 3000 bar. Notably, the isotherms of the isobaric thermal expansivity cross around 800 bar.
