The aim of this Tutorial is to help new researchers understand how to perform molecular
dynamics (MD) simulations of the shock response of materials and to provide a brief …

Dislocations in molecular crystals remain terra incognita. Owing to the complexity of
molecular structure, dislocations in molecular crystals can be difficult to understand using …

Using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, we studied the crystallographic-
orientation-dependence shock-induced plasticity for the face-centered cubic (FCC) …

Accurate modeling and prediction of damage induced by dynamic loading in materials have
long proved to be a difficult task. Examination of postmortem recovered samples cannot …

Void collapse under shock loading has become a model problem to study the nucleation of
hot spots in high energy density materials. While experimental observation of this …

Graphene/metal matrix composites have attracted intense interest because of superior
mechanical properties, while introducing graphene into the nanotwinned metal matrix has …

Laser shock peening (LSP) can induce severe plastic deformation in the surface zone of
metallic materials, which potentially enhances their mechanical properties. Although it is …

The microscopic mechanism of the effect of alloying element on the shock behavior for alloy
materials is still limited. In this work, based on our developed Finnis–Sinclair (F–S) …

Shock waves are generated under high-speed impact conditions, creating extreme
environments that are difficult to be simulated. Molecular dynamics (MD), as a vital tool for …

We present a general, flexible framework for a constant-energy variant of the dissipative
particle dynamics method that allows chemical reactions (DPD-RX). In our DPD-RX …
