Research Abstract |
Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to investigate the mutual interactions (not causal relations) between the macroscopic phenomena and microscale events, which govern the strength properties of metal. The main results obtained and problems examined are : (1) On the basis of the first-principle analysis, the effective medium theory is proved to give the accurate estimation for interatomic interaction even for locally inhomogeneous atomic structure and its non-equilibrium change. (2) Concerning the mono-atomic amorphous structure obtained through simulation of melting-rapid cooling process, relations between the mechanical properties and change of the geometric structures in atomic scale under external loading are examined. It is proved that the basic frame structure formed by icosahedral Boronoi polyhedra which is the most stable atomic arrangement with the short-range order structure plays an important role for strength properties. (3) Relations between the grain boundary (excess) energy and the ideal cleavage/shear strength and the diffusional properties near the aluminum grain boundary with the symmetric tilt/twist structure are studied. The fundamental features on the stress/electro migration in thin film or wire are discussed on from anisotropy of atomic diffusion. (4) Continuum modeling approach to treat the meso-scale structure based on the crystal plasticity theory and homogenization method are investigated and method for formulation of the constitutive relation reflecting the information obtained from atomic scale simulation are discussed.
