Results of several parallel molecular dynamics crack simulations in bcc iron crystals with up to 128 million atoms are presented. The crack (001)[010] of Griffith type is loaded in Mode I. We observe dislocation emission and twinning near the free sample surfaces and later plastically induced crack initiation.

The primary purpose of this paper is to study the effects of temperature on crack propagation of nanocrystalline nickel by Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Cracks are loaded in tension mode I. Results show that dislocation emission from a crack tip in nanocrystalline nickel due to the recombination of atomic lattice, then distortion of the crack tip promote crack propagation. The studies we have performed showed that temperature takes a great influence on the crack propagation and the crack shape, and we also found that the crack blunt obviously at high temperature.

The paper presents results of molecular dynamic (MD) simulations in 3D bcc iron crystals with edge pre-existing cracks (001)[110] and (110) [110] (crack plane/crack front) loaded uni-axially in tension mode I at temperature of 300 K. The iron crystals in MD have the same orientation and similar geometry as in our recent fracture tests performed at room temperature on iron (3wt.%Si) single crystals [1].

We present new results of molecular dynamic (MD) simulations in 3D bcc iron crystals with embedded central through crack (001)[110] of Griffith type loaded in mode I. Two different sample geometries of the same crystallographic orientation were tested with negative and positive values of the T-stress, which change the ductile-brittle behavior along the crack front in 3D. This phenomenon is explained in the framework of stress analysis, both on the continuum and atomistic level.

We present new results of molecular dynamic (MD) simulations in 3D bcc iron crystals with edge cracks (001)[010] and (-110)[110] loaded in mode I. Different sample geometries of SEN type were tested with negative and positive values of T-stress according to continuum prediction by Fett.

ABSTRACTThe propagation of mode I cracks in a three-dimensional icosahedral model quasicrystal has been studied by molecular dynamics techniques. In particular, the dependence on the plane structure and the influence of clusters have been investigated. Crack propagation was simulated in planes perpendicular to five-, two- and pseudo-twofold axes of the binary icosahedral model.Brittle fracture without any crack tip plasticity is observed. The fracture surfaces turn out to be rough on the scale of the clusters. These are not strictly circumvented, but to some extent cut by the dynamic crack. However, compared to the flat seed cracks the clusters are intersected less frequently. Thus the roughness of the crack surfaces can be attributed to the clusters, whereas the constant average heights of the fracture surfaces reflect the plane structure of the quasicrystal. Furthermore a distinct anisotropy with respect to the in-plane propagation direction is found.
