Atomistic simulations to study crack tip behaviour in multi-elemental alloys

The aim of the article is to study the crack tip behaviour in mutli-elemental alloys. Molecular dynamics based simulations were performed in conjunction with 2NN MEAM potential to study the fracture behaviour in ternary, quaternary, and quinary alloy configurations. Simulations were performed after aligning the crack plane with three different principle planes of FCC crystal. Deformation in each of the orientations was primarily governed by...
