Grain Size Effects in Indentation Response of Nan crystalline Tungsten –A Molecular Dynamic Simulation

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 2

Abstract

In this study we tried a series of nanoindentation test on nanocrystalline (nc) tungsten (W) specimens, using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations and Embedded Atom Method (EAM). We studied the grain size effect in the range of 6 to 15 nm, with a penetration rate of 5 Å /ps and at room temperature 300 K. We found the reduced elastic modulus Er and the Young elastic modulus E dependent of grain size. On the other hand, we investigated the effect of the penetration velocity ranging from 3 Å/ps to 5 Å/ps. We found that the elastic modulus increases when the rate of penetration increases. The found results are in good agreement with data experiment and the literature.
