Determination of bulk mechanical properties of nano structures from molecular dynamic simulation

Determining bulk mechanical properties from microscopic forces has become important in the light of utilizing nano-scale systems. The molecular dynamics model was used to determine the modulus of elasticity and shear modulus of pure metallic micro lattice structures. Preliminary results indicate tha...
