Thermal Activation and Ductile vs. Brittle Behavior of Microcracks in 3D BCC Iron Crystals under Biaxial Loading by Atomistic Simulations

<b>Abstract: </b>We present the results of free 3D molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, focused on the influence of temperature on the ductile-brittle behavior of a pre-existing central Griffith through microcrack  (crack plane/crack front) under biaxial loading σ<sub>A</sub>...
