Energy Barriers for Reversible Chain Scission and Healing under Tension with Displacement Control
Mohammad A. Ansari, Kenneth M. Liechti, Dmitrii E. Makarov +1
Polymer chain scission is a key mechanism for fracture of soft materials. It is well known from single-molecule force spectroscopy experiments that the critical condition for chain…
Interlayer Coupling and Strain Localization in Small-Twist-Angle Graphene Flakes
Vahid Morovati, Zhiming Xue, Kenneth M. Liechti +1
Twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) exhibits a wide range of intriguing physical properties, such as superconductivity, ferromagnetism, and superlubricity. Depending on the twist angle,…
Data Driven Modeling of Interfacial Traction Separation Relations using a Thermodynamically Consistent Neural Network
Congjie Wei, Jiaxin Zhang, Kenneth M. Liechti +1
For multilayer structures, interfacial failure is one of the most important elements related to device reliability. For cohesive zone modelling, traction-separation relations repre…
A Review on Mechanics and Mechanical Properties of 2D Materials - Graphene and Beyond
Deji Akinwande, Christopher J. Brennan, J. Scott Bunch +17
Since the first successful synthesis of graphene just over a decade ago, a variety of two-dimensional (2D) materials (e.g., transition metal-dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron-nitrid…
Cavitation of Water by Volume-Controlled Stretching
Peng Wang, Wei Gao, Justin Wilkerson +2
A liquid subjected to negative pressure is thermodynamically metastable. Confined within a small volume, negative pressure can build up until cavities form spontaneously. The criti…
Interfacial adhesion between graphene and silicon dioxide by density functional theory with van der Waals corrections
Wei Gao, Penghao Xiao, Graeme Henkelman +2
Interfacial adhesion between graphene and a SiO2 substrate is studied by density functional theory (DFT) with dispersion corrections. The results demonstrate the van der Waals (vdW…
