Brittle-fracture simulations of curved cleavage cracks in α-iron: A molecular dynamics study
Although body-centered-cubic (bcc) metals and alloys are ubiquitous as structural materials, they are brittle, particularly at low temperatures; however, the mechanism of their brittle fracture is not fully understood. In this study, we conduct a series of three-dimensional molecular dynamics simula...
