Molecular dynamic study of fracture in 2D disordered elastic Lennard-Jones solids

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The time-dependent deformation of a solid under stress is studied by molecular dynamics in a continuum, starting with atoms randomly distributed on a triangular lattice. The stress needed for fracture seems to vanish and the time to complete fracture seems to diverge at the percolation threshold, whereas the elastic modulus vanishes at a different concentration.
