High Pressure Suppression of Plasticity due to Over-Nucleation of Shear Strain
Brenden W. Hamilton, Timothy C. Germann
High pressure shear band formation is a critical phenomenon in energetic materials due to its influence on both mechanical strength and mechanochemical activation. While shear band…
Using Limited Neural Networks to Assess Relative Mechanistic Influence on Shock Heating in Granular Solids
Brenden W Hamilton, Timothy C. Germann
The rapid compaction of granular media results in localized heating that can induce chemical reactions, phase transformations, and melting. However, there are numerous mechanisms i…
Intergranular Hotspots: A Molecular Dynamics Study on the Influence of Compressive and Shear Work
Brenden W. Hamilton, Matthew P. Kroonblawd, Jalen Macatangay +2
Numerous crystal- and microstructural-level mechanisms are at play in the formation of hotspots, which are known to govern high explosive initiation behavior. Most of these mechani…
High Pressure and Temperature Neural Network Reactive Force Field for Energetic Materials
Brenden W. Hamilton, Pilsun Yoo, Michael N. Sakano +2
Reactive force fields for molecular dynamics have enabled a wide range of studies in numerous material classes. These force fields are computationally inexpensive as compared to el…
Interplay of Mechanochemistry and Material Processes in the Graphite to Diamond Phase Transformation
Brenden W. Hamilton, Timothy C. Germann
he manifestation of intra-molecular strains in covalent systems is widely known to accelerate chemical reactions and open alternative reaction paths. This process is moderately und…
