Studying the elastic properties of nanocrystalline copper using a model of randomly packed uniform grains

Guo-Jie J. Gao, Yun-Jiang Wang, Shigenobu Ogata

We develop a new Voronoi protocol, which is a space tessellation method, to generate fully dense (containing no voids) nanocrystalline models of copper (Cu) with precise grain size…
