Capturing material toughness by molecular simulation: accounting for large yielding effects and limits

The inherent computational cost of molecular simulations limits their use to the study of nanometric systems with potentially strong size effects. In the case of fracture mechanics, size effects due to yielding at the crack tip can affect strongly the mechanical response of small systems. In this pa...
