Abstract

Atomic scale computer simulations were used to investigate the surface stress induced deformation in nanoporous metals. A phase field model was used to generate digital nanoporous structures that are quantitatively similar to those created experimentally via dealloying. We analyze the important effects of surface relaxations on the macroscopic deformation in these samples as well as in small spherical clusters.
