Massively Parallel Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Crack-Front Dynamics and Morphology in Amorphous Nanostructured Silica

Atomistic aspects of dynamic fracture in amorphous and nanostructured silica are herein studied via Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, ranging from a million to 113 million atom system. The MD simulations were performed on massivelly parallel computers using highly efficient multi-resolution algor...
