Shared metadata for data-centric materials science
Giovanni Pizzi, Ronald Earle Miller, Gian-Marco Rignanese, Carsten Baldauf, Matthias Scheffler, Tristan Bereau
The expansive production of data in materials science, their widespread sharing and repurposing requires educated support and stewardship. In order to ensure that this need helps rather than hinders scientific work, the implementation of the FAIR-data prin ...
Berlin2023Molecular dynamics at constant Cauchy stress
Ronald Earle Miller, Fabio Pavia
The Parrinello-Rahman algorithm for imposing a general state of stress in periodic molecular dynamics simulations is widely used in the literature and has been implemented in many readily available molecular dynamics codes. However, what is often overlooke ...
American Institute of Physics2016An energy balance criterion for nanoindentation-induced single and multiple dislocation events
William Curtin, Ronald Earle Miller
Small volume deformation can produce two types of plastic instability events. The first involves dislocation nucleation as a dislocation by dislocation event and occurs in nanoparticles or bulk single crystals deformed by atomic force microscopy or small n ...
2006Mesoscopic length scales for deformed nanostructures
William Curtin, Ronald Earle Miller
Defining mesoscopic length scales for deformed nanostructures requires a close coupling of theory and experiment. One approach to this is to mechanically probe single crystal nanospheres of the same size that can be evaluated computationally. This involves ...
Springer2006Coupled atomistic/discrete dislocation simulations of nanoindentation at finite temperature
William Curtin, Ronald Earle Miller
Simulations of nanoindentation in single crystals are performed using a finite temperature coupled atomistic/continuum discrete dislocation (CADD) method. This computational method for multiscale modeling of plasticity has the ability of treating dislocati ...
2005A finite-temperature dynamic coupled atomistic/discrete dislocation method
William Curtin, Ronald Earle Miller
A method for simultaneously thermostatting an atomistic region and absorbing energetic pulses impinging on the atormstic/continuum interface from the atomistic region is developed to operate within the framework of the coupled atomistic/discrete dislocatio ...
2005A coupled atomistics and discrete dislocation plasticity simulation of nanoindentation into single crystal thin films
William Curtin, Ronald Earle Miller
The phenomenon of 2D nanoindentation of circular "Brinell" indenter into a single crystal metal thin film bonded to a rigid substrate is investigated. The simulation method is the coupled atomistics and discrete dislocation (CADD) model recently developed ...
2004Multiscale plasticity modeling: coupled atomistics and discrete dislocation mechanics
William Curtin, Ronald Earle Miller
A computational method (CADD) is presented whereby a continuum region containing dislocation defects is coupled to a fully atomistic region. The model is related to previous hybrid models in which continuum finite elements are coupled to a fully atomistic ...
2004A study of nano-indentation using coupled atomistic and discrete dislocation (CADD) modeling
William Curtin, Ronald Earle Miller
The phenomenon of nano-indentation into a thin film bonded to a rigid substrate is simulated using a recently developed technique whereby a fully atomistic region is coupled to a continuum region. There are three unique features of the model, as compared t ...
Elsevier Science Bv2003Atomistic/continuum coupling in computational materials science
William Curtin, Ronald Earle Miller
Important advances in multi-scale computer simulation techniques for computational materials science have been made in the last decade as scientists and engineers strive to imbue continuum-based models with more-realistic details at quantum and atomistic s ...
