The aim of the study is to determine the stress intensity factors using molecular dynamics (MD) method. In the course of the study, a computer simulation of the propagation of a central crack in a copper plate was carried out. The simulation was performed in the LAMMPS (Large-scale Atomic / Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator) software package. A comprehensive study of the influence of geometric characteristics (model dimensions, crack length), temperature, strain rate and loading mixing parameter on the plate strength, crack growth and direction was carried out. The article proposes a method for determining the coefficients of the asymptotic expansion of M. Williams stress fields. The analysis of the influence of the choice of points on the calculation of the coefficients and the comparison of the results obtained with the analytical solution are carried out.

A computer simulation of atomic displacements cascades in α-zirconium is performed by molecular dynamics method. The dependence of the fraction of surviving defects on the PKA energy (in the range from 0.1 to 20 keV) is revealed for the initial temperature of the material of 0 and 600 K. Group neutron cross sections of the effective displacement under neutron irradiation are prepared. The effective dpa rates for zirconium in neutron spectra of different reactors are evaluated. These values are about four times lower than the corresponding values of conventional dpa rates for neutron energies from 0.5 MeV and higher.

An efficient hybrid modal-molecular dynamics method is developed for the vibration analysis of large scale nanostructures. Using the reduced order method, presented in this paper, linear and nonlinear vibrations of a suspended graphene nanoribbon (GNR) carrying an electric current in a harmonic magnetic field are investigated. The resonance frequencies as well as the nonlinear vibration response obtained by the present technique and direct molecular dynamic simulations are in very good agreement. Also, the obtained results illustrate the hardening behavior of nonlinear vibrations which is diminished by stretching the GNR.

AbstractSmall single crystals of titanium with and without stacking faults have been pulled by use of the molecular dynamics method. The tensile axis was [0001] and the stacking fault was introduced on (0001) pianes. The yield stress was higher in the crystal with stacking faults. The deformation was complicated in the crystal with stacking fault. Dislocations were created near the tip of a crack and moved on (1122).

AbstractIn the present work two component dense semiclassical plasma of protons and electrons is considered. Microscopic and electrodynamic properties of the plasma by molecular dynamic simulation are investigated. For these purposes semiclassical interparticle potential which takes into account quantum mechanical diffraction and symmetry effects is used. The considered range of density of plasma is n = 1022cm−3 to n = 1024cm−3. Fluctuations and dynamic dielectric functions were calculated using velocity autocorrelation functions.
