Cavity formation in deformed amorphous solids on the nanoscale

Amorphous solids, confined on the nanoscale, are studied using molecular dynamics computer simulation. Unlike in bulk samples, failure patterns in such systems are strongly affected by the confinement geometry and interfacial effects in the sample. We study a confined model glass, subjected to uniax...
