文摘

Atomistic modelling of 3D, nano-sized, pre-notched cantilever beams of single crystal iron with four different crystallographic orientations has been performed.The cantilevers proved to be highly affected by crystallographic orientation, displaying very different behavior, ranging from very brittle in the (100) [01¯1] crack system to very ductile in the (101¯) [101] crack system. The stress intensity calculated using continuum based formulations proved to yield values not correlating well with the observations of brittle and ductile behavior, while the values obtained from a newly developed flange extrapolation method was shown to reflect the qualitative behavior better.Preliminary examinations in TEM of cantilever beams from machining with FIB has indicated the formation of a local brittle fracture as observed for the brittle (100)[01¯1] crack orientation in the modelling.
