A. Machova et F. Kroupa, ATOMISTIC MODELING OF CONTRIBUTION OF DISLOCATIONS TO CRACK OPENING DISPLACEMENTS, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 234, 1997, pp. 185-188
Dislocation emission from the crack tip in the b.c.c. lattice of alpha
-iron under quasistatic loading in mode I is modelled by means of 2D (
plane strain) molecular dynamic simulations, using two different inter
atomic potentials. The calculated crack opening displacements (GOD) be
tween the atoms are compared with the COD in continuum treatment. The
stress conditions at dislocation emission and at microcrack initiation
and ductility criteria are examined. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
