Calculation of Local Elastic Constants at a Metallic Grain Boundary
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2011
Abstract
A new atomistic-simulation method for calculating the full local elastic-constant tensor in terms of local stress and local strain for inhomogeneous systems is described. Results of simulations of an isolated high-angle twist grain boundary are presented. A dramatic reduction in resistance to shear parallel to the grain boundary is observed, and its relation to structural disorder is discussed.
