Molecular dynamics simulations of mechanical behavior in nanoscale ceramic –metallic multilayer composites
The mechanical behavior of nanoscale ceramic–metallic (NbC/Nb) multilayer composites with dif
ferent thickness ratios is investigated using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Based on the
obtained stress–strain behavior and its dependence on temperature, strain rate, and loading path,
the flow stress for the onset of plasticity is identified and modeled based on the nucleation theory,
and the in-plane yield loci for different layer thicknesses are constructed. The results are used to

A perspective on the statistical mechanics of 2D materials
2D materials are fascinating for numerous reasons. Their geometrical and mechanical characteristics along with other associated physical properties have opened up fascinating new application avenues ranging from electronics, energy harvesting, biological systems among others. Due to the 2D nature of these materials, they are known for their unusual flexibility and the ability to sustain large curvature deformations. Further, they undergo noticeable thermal fluctuations at room temperature.
