Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling the response of pyrophyllite interlayer to applied stress using steered molecular dynamics
TL;DR: In this paper, an atomic model of pyrophyllite interlayer was constructed using steered molecular dynamics simulations and external forces were applied to individual atoms to study the response of the model to applied forces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of Mechanical Response of Sodium Montmorillonite Interlayer with Increasing Hydration by Molecular Dynamics
TL;DR: The paper describes the construction of the model, the simulation procedure, and results of the simulations, which provide quantitative stress deformation relationships as well as an insight into the molecular interactions taking place between the clay surface and interlayer water and cations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of the sodium montmorillonite interlayer intercalated with amino acids.
TL;DR: The amino acids arginine and lysine are used as modifiers and the intercalation and mechanical behavior of the interlayer spacing with these amino acids as inclusions under compression and tension are studied using molecular dynamics simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular modeling of the mechanical behavior and interactions in dry and slightly hydrated sodium montmorillonite interlayer
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors model the mechanical response of smectite clay interlayers during swelling in order to accurately model and understand the mechanism of the evolution of microstructure during swelling.
