Evaluation of Crack Growth Retardation Effect Due to Nano-scale Voids Based on Molecular Dynamics Method
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 March 2011
Abstract
This study has investigated the crack growth retardation effect due to plural nano-scale voids in Cu single crystals using a molecular dynamics (MD) method. Focusing on an interaction between nano-scale voids and dislocations, we have evaluated the optimum placement for crack growth retardation. MD simulations showed that the dislocation activity was further enhanced due to plural nano-scale voids continuously placed on the primary slip direction. The significant ductility enhancement and slight yield stress increase due to the crack shielding effect of nano-scale voids were observed.
