Molecular Dynamics Simulation on Shocked Nanocrystalline Aluminum

Abstract:

The characteristics of shocked nanocrystalline aluminum are investigated by using molecular dynamics method based on the embedded atom method potential function. The result presents the particle velocity profile and the width of shock front in detail. The simulated Hugoniot relations are basically consistent with the experimental data and other molecular dynamics results. The width of shock front decreases with the particle velocity exponentially.
