Dislocation dynamics are important to understand material plasticity in small-sized materials. In case of face-centered cubic crystalline systems, densities of initial dislocations, dislocation nucleations and starvations processes influence material stren ...

From infinitesimal to full contact between rough surfaces: Evolution of the contact area

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Vladislav Yastrebov

We carry out a statistically meaningful study on self-affine rough surfaces in elastic frictionless non-adhesive contact. We study the evolution of the true contact area under increasing squeezing pressure from zero up to full contact, which enables us to ...

We present a robust method to obtain the displacement field of a dislocation core, which is one of the building blocks for the development of a direct multiscale method coupling an atomistic domain to a discrete dislocation dynamics engine in 3D (e.g. CADD ...

Dynamic stability of displacement-based atomistic/continuum coupling methods

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Till Junge

We show that concurrent atomistic/continuum displacement-coupling methods are inherently unstable in the context of fully dynamic problems at finite temperature. The fundamental origin of the instability is the displacement coupling of two material descrip ...

The existence of a critical length scale in regularised friction

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, David Simon Kammer, Vladislav Yastrebov

We study a regularisation of Coulomb's friction law on the propagation of local slip at an interface between a deformable and a rigid solid. This regularisation, which was proposed based on experimental observations, smooths the effect of a sudden jump in ...

A concurrent atomistic and continuum coupling method with applications to thermo-mechanical problems

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Srinivasa Babu Ramisetti

We present a novel method to couple molecular dynamics with finite elements at finite temperatures using spatial filters. The mismatch in the dispersion relations between continuum and atomistic models leads, at finite temperature, to unwanted mesh vibrati ...

We revisit the classic problem of an elastic solid with a two-dimensional wavy surface squeezed against an elastic flat half-space from infinitesimal to full contact. Through extensive numerical calculations and analytic derivations, we discover previously ...

The low thermal conductivity of nano-crystalline materials is commonly explained via diffusive scattering of phonons by internal boundaries. In this study, we have quantitatively studied phononcrystalline boundaries scattering and its effect on the overall ...

Spatial filters for bridging molecular dynamics with finite elements at finite temperatures

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Srinivasa Babu Ramisetti

We present the application of digital filters to split the energy spectrum of an atomistic zone simulated with molecular dynamics into low and high energy components. After a brief background on digital filters, we describe the procedure used to select a c ...

We investigate the friction of deformable bodies, with nano-scale self-affine fractal rough surfaces, at the atomic scale using molecular dynamics. Different temperatures (0-400 K) are studied, while roughness and applied load are changed. During sliding, ...
