Abstract

A multiscale cohesive zone model (MCZM) that combines finite element method with atomistic modeling is applied to simulate fracture of amorphous materials and polycrystalline solids. In order to apply MCZM to model amorphous materials, the Cauchy–Born rule is linked with the Parrinello–Rahman MD method to associate atom configurations with material deformation by using molecular statics (MS). We found the algorithm allows us to simulate ductile fracture of amorphous materials successfully. In addition, the methodology is applied to model the amorphous grain boundaries of polycrystalline solids, and we show that it can capture ductile fracture of polycrystalline metals.
