It is shown, through molecular dynamics simulations, that the emission and outward expansion of special dislocation loops, nucleated at the surface of nanosized voids, are responsible for the outward flux of matter, promoting their growth. Calculations performed for different orientations of the tensile axis, [001], [110] and [111], reveal new features of these loops for a face-centered cubic metal,...
Dislocations are the most important element in our understanding of the mechanical response of metals. Their postulation in 1934 led to revolutionary advances in our ability to predict the mechanical behavior of materials. The authors recently advanced a dislocation mechanism for void growth in ductile metals. This paper reviews the analytical and atomistic calculations carried out in support of this...
Molecular dynamics simulations in monocrystalline and bicrystalline copper were carried out with LAMMPS (Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator) to reveal void growth mechanisms. The specimens were subjected to tensile uniaxial strains; the results confirm that the emission of (shear) loops is the primary mechanism of void growth. It is observed that many of these shear loops develop...
