| Research Abstract |
Fundamental phenomena governing the fracture processes appearing in a polycrystalline metal are studied by means of computer simulation using both atomic and continuum models. The main results obtained are summarized as follows :
(1) Molecular dynamics simulations are performed for fcc-Cu and bcc-Fe single crystals and the following fundamental phenomena governing the material strength properties are examined ; a) crack initiation mechanisms activated by interaction of the dislocation and deformation twin, b) dynamical characters of the atomic structure in near-chip region under the modes I,II and III loading, especially dependence of the crystal orientation and temperature on the dislocation emission leading to the ductile fracture,
c) interaction between the grain boundary and lattice defects, and d) the self-diffusion properties and its temperature dependence in the grain boundary region.
(2) Using the continuum model derived from the crystal plasticity theory, the finite element analysis of the ductile crack is carried on and meaning of microscopic stress and micro-mechanism of shear-band formation is examined, regarding the simulation results obtain from the atomic model as a substantial data for the microscopic fracture process.
(3) In order to evaluate the appropriateness and limit of its validity, ab initio analysis based on super-cell method and/or molecular orbital method are performed.
