We describe the historical development of large-scale nonequilibrium molecular-dynamics (NEMD) computer simulations of fracture at Los Alamos. We have found that dynamic crack propagation leads to energy buildup that seeds instabilities, such as dislocation emission and branching. Recent three-dimen

A molecular dynamics simulation study of MgSiO3 has been performed using a large sample containing 4096 unit cells. Thermodynamic properties have been extracted using a semiclassical approximation to the correct quantum mechanical treatment, using the calculated density of states and the quantum har
We present the results of large scale non equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations of plasticity induced by a shock wave in a perfect fcc single crystal in the orientation [1 0 0]. Shockley loops are thermally nucleated behind the shock front. The algorithm used to identify and follow the time evo
