Deformation mechanisms in Al/Al2Cu/Cu multilayer under compressive loading

The promising mechanical, physical and chemical properties of Cu/Al layered composites are of high interest in extreme environments. It is therefore essential to understand the plastic deformation mechanisms and the variables affecting these properties. In this paper, LAMMPS code was used to calculate the lattice constants and elastic constants of Cu, Al, and Al2Cu structures, and the results were compared with experimental results to verify the...
