Driver for the Tunable Intrinsic Ductility Potential due to Rajan et al. (2016) v000 |
|---|---|
| Description | A family of interatomic potentials is constructed for which the intrinsic ductility can be tuned systematically. Specifically, the elastic constants and critical energy release rate for Griffith cleavage, GIc, are held constant, while the critical energy release rate for dislocation emission, GIe, can be varied. This behavior is achieved by modifying a standard near-neighbor pair potential. The potential is applicable to 3D fcc/hcp crystals. (A variant of the potential applicable to 2D hexagonal lattices is described in the paper.) Analytical expressions are provided for GIe and GIc, enabling a potential with a desired intrinsic ductility to be easily developed. Direct atomistic simulations are used to demonstrate that the new potentials control the intrinsic material ductility, i.e. crack tip dislocation emission versus brittle cleavage, under quasi-static loading. For the 2D potential, the mode I crack tip behavior can be tuned from brittle to ductile; for the 3D potential, such tuning is only possible for certain crack orientations. More generally, the potentials are expected to be useful in a wide range of physical problems in which behavior is controlled by the ability of the material to nucleate dislocations, including problems involving crack tips, grain boundaries, contact and friction, and bi-material interfaces. |

This is a "toy model" (model interatomic potential) designed to study the general principles of material deformation and fracture without confining attention to a particular material system. |
