Nanoscale creep mechanism of clay through MD modeling with hexagonal particles
Zhe Zhang, Xiaoyu Song
In this article, we investigate the creep mechanism of clay at the nanoscale. We conduct the molecular dynamics (MD) modeling of clay samples consisting of hexagonal particles unde…
Nanoscale crack propagation in clay with water adsorption through reactive MD modeling
Zhe Zhang, Xiaoyu Song
The atomic-scale cracking mechanism in clay is vital in discovering the cracking mechanism of clay at the continuum scale in that clay is a nanomaterial. In this article, we invest…
MD modeling of cracks in clay at the nanoscale
Zhe Zhang, Xiaoyu Song
Cracks in clay are significant in geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering (e.g., embankment erosion and stability of landfill cover systems). This article studies the mechani…
Nanoscale soil-water retention mechanism of unsaturated clay via MD and machine learning
Zhe Zhang, Xiaoyu Song
In this article, we investigate the nanoscale soil-water retention mechanism of unsaturated clay through molecular dynamics and machine learning. Pyrophyllite was chosen due to its…
NEMD modeling of nanoscale hydrodynamics of clay-water system at elevated temperature
Zhe Zhang, Xiaoyu Song
The engineering problems involving clay under non-isothermal conditions (e.g., geothermal energy harvest, landfill cover system, and nuclear waste disposal) are multiscale and mult…
