Size-Dependent Mechanical Properties of Amorphous SiO<sub>2</sub> Nanowires: A Molecular Dynamics Study
Uniaxial tension tests were performed for amorphous SiO<sub>2</sub> nanowires using molecular dynamics simulation to probe the size effect on the mechanical properties and plastic deformation by varying the length of nanowires. The simulation results showed that the Young’s modulus of Si...
