<i>R</i>-curve Evaluation of Copper and Nickel Single Crystals Using Atomistic Simulations

The technique of molecular statics (MS) simulation was employed to determine the crack growth resistance curve of Cu and Ni single crystals. Copper and Ni single crystal nanoplates with an edge crack subjected to a tensile displacement were simulated. Stress-displacement curves and snapshots of the...
