This study focuses on investigating the influence of epoxy polymer crosslinking density, a crucial aspect in composite material matrices, on the yield surface using molecular dynamics simulations. Our approach involved generating epoxy models with diverse crosslinking densities and subjecting them to both uniaxial and multiaxial deformation simulations, accounting for the elasto-plastic deformation behaviors. Through this, we obtained key mechanical parameters including elastic modulus, yield point, and strain hardening coefficient, all correlated with crosslinking conversion ratios. A particularly noteworthy finding is the rapid expansion of the yield surface in the biaxial compression region with increasing crosslinking ratios, compared to the uniaxial tensile region. This unique behavior led to observable yield surface variations, indicating a significant pressure-dependent relationship of the yield surface considering plastic strain and crosslinking conversion ratio. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between crosslinking density and plastic mechanical response, especially in the aspect of multiaxial deformation behaviors.

We calculate the variation of the surface stresses according to uniaxial and biaxial strains in face-centered cubic (FCC) metals. In our study, three mainly observed free surfaces of seven representative FCC metals are considered. Employed method is molecular mechanics, in which the interaction of atoms is described by empirical interatomic potentials. As uniaxial strain increases to tensile direction, the surface stresses on {100} and {110} free surfaces decrease monotonously, while those on {111} surface increase. These tendencies are the same regardless of the species of metals and interatomic potentials employed. However, when the system is under biaxial strain, surface stresses change different according to the surface directions, the species of metals, and even interatomic potentials. On {100} and {111} surfaces, heavy metals (Pt, Au) show the opposite variation to light metals (Ni, Cu). In the cases of Pd and Ag, the surface stresses reveal the opposite tendency, depending on interatomic potentials used.

본 연구에서는 이상과 같은 점을 고려하고 흠함이 존재하기 쉬운 용접부 표면 에 인공적으로 1/4원형에 해당하는 표면피로크랙을 시험편 모서리에 넣고 이러한 시험 편에 굽힘응력을 가하여 다음과 같은 사항들을 고찰하였다. 피로크랙의 표면 및 측 면에서의 전파과정, 피로크랙의 모양비(b/a)의 변화, 피로크랙의 표면 및 측면의 전파 속도와 크랙길이와의 관계등을 알아보았다. 여기에서 크랙의 표면길이란 흠함이 시 험편 모서리에 존재할 때 그것을 기점으로 표면에 전파하는 크랙의 길이를 말하며, 크 랙의 측면길이란 그것을 기점으로 측면의 표면에 전파하는 크랙의 길이를 말한다.
