Atomic Picture of Plastic Deformation in Metals: Overview Lecture

The lecture describes the objectives of the learning module and provides the necessary background for the activities. We briefly discuss the following topics: mechanical response of macroscopic polycrystalline metals during tensile tests molecular dynamics simulations of materials mechanical response of nanoscale, defect-free samples on nanoHUB: http://nanohub.org/resources/8038 Also, please see the Learning Module on nanoHUB: http://nanohub.org/topics/LearningMod...
