Ductile-brittle behavior at blunted cavities in 3D iron crystals uncovered and covered by copper atoms

This paper is devoted to studies of the mechanical response of an atomically blunted cavity uncovered and covered by copper atoms by means 3D molecular dynamic (MD) simulations. The cavity is loaded uni-axially in tension mode I. Our question is how the copper atoms influence the ductile-brittle beh...
