Abstract

In this paper, a novel approach to estimate cohesive laws for the mode I fracture of the graphene is presented by combining molecular dynamic simulations and an inverse algorithm based on field projection method and finite element method. The determination of crack-tip cohesive laws of the graphene based on continuum mechanics is a non-trivial inverse problem of finding unknown tractions and separations from atomic simulations. The displacements of molecular dynamic simulations in a region far away from the crack tip are transferred to finite element nodes by using moving least square approximation. Inverse analyses for extracting unknown cohesive tractions and separation behind the crack tip can be carried out by using conservation nature of the interaction J- and M-integrals with numerical auxiliary fields which are generated by systematically imposing uniform surface tractions element-by-element along the crack surfaces in finite element models. The preset method can be a very successful approach to extract crack-tip cohesive laws from molecular dynamic simulations as a scale bridging method.

본 논문은 그래핀의 모드 I 균열 진전에 대한 분자동역학 해석과 수치보조장을 사용하는 영역 투영 방법의 역문제 해석 방법을 결합하여 균열 선단 응집 법칙을 평가하는 효율적인 방법을 제시하고 있다. 그래핀의 균열 선단 응집 법칙을 결정하는 것은 균열 선단에서 멀리 떨어진 영역의 변위를 사용하여 균열 면에서 미지의 응집 트랙션과 열림 변위를 구하는 역문제를 해석해야 하는데 상호 J-적분과 M-적분의 경로 보존성과 효율적인 수치보조장을 사용하는 방법을 적용하였다. 분자동역학 해석에서 원자 변위를 유한요소 절점 변위로 이동최소자승법을 사용하여 근사하였으며 안정적인 역문제 해석을 통하여 원자 단위의 거동을 연속체 해석으로 연결시킬 수 있는 새로운 방법을 보여주었다.
