Crack Length Effect on the Fracture Behavior of Single-Crystals and Bi-Crystals of Aluminum

Molecular dynamics simulations of cracked nanocrystals of aluminum were performed in order to investigate the crack length and grain boundary effects. Atomistic models of single-crystals and bi-crystals were built considering 11 different crack lengths. Novel approaches based on fracture mechanics c...
