Abstract
Nonequilibrium molecular-dynamics simulations of shock waves in three-dimensional 10-million atom face-centered cubic crystals with cross-sectional dimensions of 100 by 100 unit cells show that the system slips along all of the available {111} slip planes, in different places along the nonplanar shock front. Comparison of these simulations with earlier ones on a smaller scale not only eliminates the possibility that the observed slippage is an artifact of transverse periodic boundary conditions, but also reveals the richness of the nanostructure left behind. By introducing a piston face that is no longer perfectly flat, mimicking a line or surface inhomogeneity in the unshocked material, it is shown that for weaker shock waves (below the perfect-crystal yield strength), stacking faults can be nucleated by preexisting extended defects.

Microscopic View of Structural Phase Transitions Induced by Shock Waves

TL;DR: Multimillion-atom molecular-dynamics simulations are used to investigate the shock-induced phase transformation of solid iron, finding that the dynamics and orientation of the developing close-packed grains depend on the shock strength and especially on the crystallographic shock direction.

Advances in Modeling and Simulation of Grinding Processes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of the current state of the art in modeling and simulation of grinding processes: physical process models (analytical and numerical models) and empirical process models(regression analysis, artificial neural net models) as well as rule based models (rule based models) are taken into account.

Length scale and time scale effects on the plastic flow of fcc metals

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined size scale and strain rate effects on single-crystal face-centered cubic cubic (fcc) metals and found that dislocations nucleating at free surfaces are critical to causing micro-yield and macro-yielding in pristine material.

Shock deformation of face-centred-cubic metals on subnanosecond timescales

TL;DR: Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of shock-wave propagation through a metal allowing a detailed analysis of the dynamics of high strain-rate plasticity resolve the important discrepancy in the evolution of the strain from one- to three-dimensional compression observed in diffraction experiments.

Detonations at nanometer resolution using molecular dynamics.

TL;DR: It is shown that discrete detonation chemistry can be studied using molecular dynamics simulations and that simulations using reactive many-body potentials provide a powerful probe of the interplay between the continuum properties of shock waves and the atomic-scale chemistry they induce in condensed-phase detonations.

Modeling shock-wave deformation via molecular dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the plastic flow that leads to shear-stress relaxation in 3D solids and fluids is highly localized near the shock front, involving slippage along close-packed planes.

Effects of pairwise versus many-body forces on high-stress plastic deformation

TL;DR: A model embedded-atom (many-body) potential is proposed and tested against an effective, density-independent, pairwise-additive potential in a variety of nonequilibrium molecular-dynamics simulations of plastic deformation under high stress to observe significant qualitative differences in flow behavior.

Structure of a Shock-Wave Front in a Liquid

TL;DR: Solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations for strong shock waves in a dense fluid agree well with recent atomistic simulations using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics as discussed by the authors, which is the state-of-the-art.
