Analysis of Mechanical Behavior of Nanowire by $Nos\acute{e}-Poincar\acute{e}$ Molecular Dynamics Simulation

$Nos\acute{e}-Poincar\acute{e}$ 분자 동역학 알고리즘을 이용한 나노 와이어의 역학적 거동 해석

Mechanical behavior of copper nanowire is investigated. An FCC nanowire model composed of 1,408 atoms is used for MD simulation. Simulations are performed within NVT ensemble setting without periodic boundary conditions. $Nos\acute{e}-Poincar\acute{e}$ MD algorithm is employed to guarantee preservation of Hamiltonian and temperature. Numerical tensile tests of Nanowire are carried out with constant strain rate. Additionally, temperature and strain rate effects are considered. Stress-strain curve is constructed from the calculated Cauchy stresses and specified strain values. In (22,4,4) Copper nanowire, non-linear behavior appears around ${\epsilon}\simeq0.09.$ At this instance, starting of structural reorientations are observed. At the onset of reorientation, the modulus characteristics are also investigated.
