A molecular dynamics modeling study on the mechanical behavior of nano-twinned Cu and relevant issues
DownloadFall 2010
As a candidate for dynamic electric contacts, Nano-twinned copper has intrinsic conductivity and enhanced fretting resistance. To better understand its general mechanical behavior, we conduct molecular dynamics simulation studies to investigate responses of nano-twinned copper to stress and to...

A molecular dynamics simulation study on Bauschinger’s effect in nano-scaled Cu systems with and without interfaces
DownloadSpring 2013
Employing the molecular dynamics simulation method, we investigated the responses of nano-scaled Cu systems, including single crystal(SC), and crystals with twin boundaries(TW) and grain boundaries(GB) to cyclic deformation in different strain ranges. Bauschinger’s effect occurring during the...

A molecular dynamics simulation study on the deformation behavior for nanotwinned polycrystalline copper
DownloadSpring 2012
Present research is focused on the mechanical behavior of nanoscale copper with growth twins. Atomistic calculation (Molecular Dynamics simulation) with embedded-atom method potential was used to study the fundamental deformation processes that occur in columnar nanocrystalline copper. The...

A Molecular Dynamics Study of the Dissolution of Asphaltene Model Compounds in Supercritical Fluids
DownloadSpring 2011
The demand for a new solvent to treat oilsands was behind the purpose of this project; molecular dynamics simulation was used in this study. Supercritical water, supercritical carbon dioxide and other selected organic solvents in their supercritical state were studied. Meso-tetraphenyl porphyrin...

ADP-ribosylation factors (Arfs) play a central role in the regulation of vesicular trafficking through the Golgi. Arfs are activated on cis-Golgi membranes exclusively by the guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) Golgi-specific BFA resistance factor 1 (GBF1), upon recruitment from cytosol....
