Ideal Shear Strengths of fcc Aluminum and Copper
David Roundy,David Roundy,C. R. Krenn,C. R. Krenn,Marvin L. Cohen,Marvin L. Cohen,J. W. Morris,J. W. Morris +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculate the ideal shear strength of Al and Cu at zero temperature using pseudopotential density functional theory within the local density approximation, which allows for structural relaxation of all five strain components other than the imposed shear strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ideal strength of tungsten
TL;DR: Using pseudopotential density functional theory within the local density approximation, this article calculated the ideal shear strengths of W for slip on {110, {112} and {123} planes allowing for complete structural relaxation orthogonal to the applied shear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phonon instabilities and the ideal strength of aluminum.
D. M. Clatterbuck,D. M. Clatterbuck,C. R. Krenn,Marvin L. Cohen,Marvin L. Cohen,J. W. Morris,J. W. Morris +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the ideal strength of a metal has been shown to be dictated by instabilities in the acoustic phonon spectra, and further suggests that shear failure is an inherent property of aluminum even in an initially dislocation-free perfect crystal.
Journal ArticleDOI
The internal stability of an elastic solid
J. W. Morris,C. R. Krenn +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the conditions of elastic stability that set the upper limits of mechanical strength were investigated for cubic, tetragonal and monoclinic distortions of a cubic crystal and some of their implications are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Limits of Strength and Toughness in Steel
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the limits of strength and toughness from two perspectives: theoretical and practical: the first perspective is theoretical, and the second perspective is practical: how to maximize the toughness of high-strength steel.
