Unraveling the Mechanisms of Plasticity in Nanostructured Materials using Advanced Data Analysis and Simulation Methods — •Alexander Stukowski — Institut für Materialwissenschaft, TU Darmstadt

Nanocrystalline, nanotwinned, and nanoporous metals and alloys all exhibit exceptional deformation behavior due to their large density of internal interfaces. Unlike in more coarse-structured materials, a multitude of mechanisms contributes to the plasticity and strength of these novel materials, leading to more complex mechanical behavior.

Large-scale molecular dynamics and new Monte-Carlo simulation methods [1] possess the potential to significantly expand our understanding of the underlying processes that govern the plasticity at the nanoscale. In particular the recent development of sophisticated data analysis algorithms [2] helps us to identify, track, and visualize key microstructural features and defects in complex materials models, leading to new insights into the interplay of competing mechanisms [3] and the internal evolution of materials.

I will highlight several of our recent developments in this active field of research, demonstrate the power of these enabling technologies by looking at different materials systems [4], and discuss challenges yet to be solved in this area of computational materials science.
