Point defect effects on tensile strength of α−zirconium studied by molecular dynamics simulations
Vacancy, interstitial, and Frenkel pair effects on the tensile strength of α−Zr are studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The uni-axial tensile load is along [0001] direction of the α−Zr samples. The yield stresses and the corresponding yield strains decrease with the increase of the defect con...
