Tensile behavior of single-crystal nano-sized copper beams with voids
The tensile response under displacement controlled loading of nano-sized single crystal Cu beams, solid or holding square shaped through-the thickness voids, have been investigated through 3D molecular dynamics simulations using free-ware LAMMPS [1]. For the same beam size and void height, the void width along the beam length axis was varied. Two different crystallographic orientations were consid
