MD simulation of a copper rod under thermal shock

In this paper,thermoelastic problem of onedimensional copper rod under thermal shock is simulated using molecular dynamics method by adopting embedded atom method potential.The rod is on axis x,the left outermost surface of which is traction free and the right outermost surface is fixed.Free boundary condition is imposed on the outermost surfaces in direction y and z.The left and right ends of the rod are subjected to hot and cold baths,respectively.Temperature,displacement and stress distributions are obta...
