This paper reviews recent results in the simulation of the mechanical response of metallic
microstructures at the atomic level. The role of the grain boundary network in deformation …

Nanocrystalline (NC) metals suffer from an intrinsic thermal instability; their crystalline grains
undergo rapid coarsening during processing treatments or under service conditions. Grain …

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to study the nanoindentation onto three
different crystal structures including the single crystalline, polycrystalline, and nanotwinned …

Nanoindentation simulations are a helpful complement to experiments. There is a dearth of
nanoindentation simulations for bcc metals, partly due to the lack of computationally efficient …

The mechanical property of polycrystal CuNi alloys under the indentation process is studied
