Multiscale Simulation of Surface Defects Influence Nanoindentation by a Quasi-Continuum Method

Multiscale Simulation of Surface Defects Influence Nanoindentation by a Quasi-Continuum Method

Microscopic properties of nanocrystal aluminum thin film have been investigated using the quasicontinuum method in order to study the influence of surface defects in nanoindentation. Various distances between the surface defect and indenter have been taken into account. The results show that as the...
