Abstract:This study investigated the mechanical properties (elastic modulus, tensile strength, yield strength, and toughness) of different percent C of Silicon Carbide (SiC) using molecular dynamics simulations via the Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS) with the uniaxial tensile test at four strain rates: 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 5.0 m/s, using the Tersoff potential. The simulation uses 20×20×20 atoms (108.6Å×108.6Å×108.6Å) of diamond cubic structure of Si, then carbon atoms were placed random… Show more
