AbstractWe present results obtained by molecular dynamics simulations on the propagation of fast cracks in triangular 2D lattices. Our aim is to simulate Mode I fracture of brittle isotropic materials. We propose a force law that respects the isotropy of the material. The code yields the correct imposed sound c║, shear c┴ and surface VR wave speeds. Different notch lengths are systematically studied. We observe that initially the cracks are linear and always branch at a particular critical velocity c* ≈0.8VR and that this occurs when the crack tip reaches the position of a front emitted from the initial crack tip and propagating at a speed c = 0.6 8VR.

The minimum energy structures of CmTin microclusters and nanoparticles have been investigated theoretically by performing molecular–dynamics (MD) simulations. Selected crystalline and completely random initial geometries are considered. The potential energy function (PEF) used in the calculations includes two– and three–body atomic interactions for C-Ti binary systems. Molecular–dynamics simulations have been performed at 1 K and 300 K. It has been found that initial geometry has a very strong influence on relaxed geometry
