Abstract: In this study, atomistic finite deformation calculations employing the Embedded Atom Method show three items of interest related to continuum field theory. First, a spatial size scale effect on ...

Abstract: For very shallow indentations in W, Al, Au, and Fe-3wt%Si single crystals, hardness decreased with increasing depth irrespective of increasing or decreasing strain gradients. As such, strain ...

Abstract: We analyze simple shear and torsion of single crystal copper by employing experiments, molecular dynamics simulations, and finite element simulations in order to focus on the kinematic responses ...

Abstract: General theory of semi-empirical potential methods including embedded-atom method and modified-embedded-atom method (MEAM) is reviewed. The procedures to construct these potentials are also reviewed. ...
