We employ molecular dynamics simulations of defect-free nanopillars with realistic cylindrical geometries to obtain an atomic-level picture of their deformation behavior under …
The mechanical behavior of single crystalline aluminum nano-pillars under uniaxial compression differs from bulk Al in that the former is characterized by a smoother transition …

Understanding the plasticity and strength of crystalline materials in terms of the dynamics of microscopic defects has been a goal of materials research in the last 70 years. The size …
The effect of inclusion of a grain boundary in nanopillar was studied using Al bicrystal with [3 4 3]/[13 17‾ 14] orientation. Ex situ compression results showed higher strengths in bicrystal …
We perform a series of molecular dynamics simulations of the uniaxial compression of cylindrical gold nanopillars. Yield occurs via Shockley partial dislocation nucleation at the …
Three-dimensional dislocation dynamics (DD) simulations are performed to investigate the size-dependent plasticity in submicron face-centered cubic (FCC) micropillars under torsion …
