Tensile Stress and Thermal Growth Effects on Grain Boundary Motion in Nanocrystalline Nickel
We report on two studies that involve molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of grain boundary motion in nanocrystalline (nc) nickel. The first study is conducted to examine the effects of an applied tensile stress on the grain boundary motion in 5 nm3 nc-Ni specimens, half of which contain free surfa...
