Molecular dynamics study of the elastic properties of copper-silver alloy using embedded atom model potential
Abstract
The elastic properties of copper-silver alloy were determined for different atomic compositions by molecular dynamics simulations using an embedded atom model (EAM) potential. The elastic constants (c11, c12, c44) that describe the Young's modulus, bulk modulus, and shear modulus, were obtained from the stress-strain curves using strains applied at a constant rate. The temperature dependence of the elastic properties from 300K to 600K is also reported.
