Atomistic Molecular Dynamics Studies of Grain Boundary Structure and Deformation Response in Metallic Nanostructures

The research reported in this dissertation focuses on the response of grain boundaries in polycrystalline metallic nanostructures to applied strain using molecular dynamics simulations and empirical interatomic force laws. The specific goals of the work include establishing how local grain boundary...
