Strain rate, temperature, and microstructure play a significant role in the mechanical
response of materials. Using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, we …

Construction of the mechanical model for dynamic tensile (spall) fracture is one of the
cornerstone problems in the mechanical description of the material behavior under dynamic …

In this study, we formulate a mechanical model of spall fracture of copper, which describes
both solid and molten states. The model is verified, and its parameters are found based on …

Simulation of femtosecond laser ablation of a bulk aluminum target is performed using two
complementary approaches. The first method is single-fluid two-temperature hydrodynamics …

Evolution of wavefront geometry during propagation and attenuation of initially planar shock
waves generated by femtosecond laser pulses in aluminum is studied. We demonstrate that …

With the help of molecular dynamic simulation, we investigate late stages of aluminum melt
tension up to the deformation degree of about 10, including a stage of bubble liquid, a …

Dynamic tensile (micro-spallation) fracture and subsequent recompression in a molten state
is the key physical process for metallic materials undergoing multiple intense dynamic …

Dynamic tensile (spall) fracture of pure Pb and Sn in solid and molten states is investigated
by MD simulations. The influence of unwettable inclusions on the spall strength is revealed …

This study investigates the physical processes involved in picosecond pulse (20-28 ps
FWHM) laser ablation of Al 6061, 316L stainless steel, and undoped crystalline Si (< 100>) …

With the use of the molecular dynamics simulations, by an example of Ti and Mg inclusions
in Al matrix, we consider two different mechanisms of reduction of the tensile strength of a …
