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.

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.

AbstractMany aspects of materials deformation and failure are controlled by atomic-scale phenomena that can be explored using molecular statics and molecular dynamics simulations. However, many of these phenomena involve processes on multiple length scales with the result that full molecular statics/molecular dynamics simulations of the entire system are too large to be tractable. In this review, we discuss hybrid models that perform molecular statics/molecular dynamics simulations “without all the atoms,” aimed at retaining atomistic detail at a fraction of the computational cost. These methods couple a fully atomistic model in critical regions to regions described by less-expensive continuum methods where they can provide an adequate representation of the important physics. We give an overview of the challenges such models present, with a focus on recent work to address issues of dynamics and finite (non-zero) temperature.
