Crack Growth and Propagation in Metallic Alloys
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
Using large-scale molecular dynamics simulation on a massively parallel computer, we have studied the initiation of cracking in a Monel-like alloy of Cu-Ni. In a low temperature 2D sample, fracture from a notch starts at a little beyond 2.5% critical strain when the propagation direction is perpendicular to a cleavage plane. We discuss a method of characterizing crack tip position using a measure of area around the crack tip.
