1. Nanoscale Tensile Testing with Molecular Dynamics

   Teaching Materials | 21 Feb 2019 | Contributor(s):: Sam Reeve, Alejandro Strachan

   In this computational lab you will perform online molecular dynamics (MD) simulations through nanoHUB of single-crystal copper nanowires under uniaxial tension of varying orientations and analyze the results in order to: Observe how slip planes in single-crystal nanowires are formed and...

2. MSEN 201 Lecture 10.1: Mechanical Properties Metals - Macroscopic Stress Strain Behavior

   Online Presentations | 14 Feb 2019 | Contributor(s):: Patrick J Shamberger

3. Homework assignment: learning about elastic constants via molecular dynamics simulations

   Teaching Materials | 11 Mar 2015 | Contributor(s):: Alejandro Strachan, David Ray Johnson

   In this homework assignment students will use molecular dynamics to compute the elastic constants of metals using an embedded atom model to describe atomic interactions. They will deform  a single crystal along different directions and obtain c11, c12 and c44 elastic constants from the...
