Molecular dynamics simulation of fatigue damage in metals

Approved for public release; Distribution is unlimited === Molecular dynamics simulation was conducted to better understand the mechanism of fatigue failure and to identify a parameter(s) that can indicated progressive damage due to cyclic loading. The Embedded Atom Method (EAM) was used for copper...
