It is generally recognized that single crystals exhibit orientation-dependent elastic and
plastic responses. However, it is less known how the dynamic tensile, or spall, strength …

Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate shock-induced damage
and fracture in 3C single bond SiC single crystals at an elevated initial temperature of 2000 …

Shock-induced spall in SiC is investigated via high strain-rate loading molecular dynamics

The response of single crystals to increasing shock strength involves complex phase
transition processes from solid-solid to solid-liquid phases. However, it is not yet fully …

Molecular dynamics simulations are carried out to investigate the deformation response

Investigating the spalling behavior is beneficial for the microscale modeling of impact failure.
However, the correlation between pulse shape and spallation remains elusive due to limited …

This Letter reports the individual and combined effects of He bubbles and grain boundaries
on the spallation of aluminum at different strain rates. Molecular dynamics simulations show …
