Parallel Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Ejection from the Metal Cu and Al Under Shock Loading

Large-scale non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the ejection of the metal under a shock loading. The present work focus on the dynamic process of ejection from the metal Cu and Al surface groove under shock loading, using parallel MD implementation and the Morse potential. The ejected mass coefficient and the size distribution of ejected particles (cluster for atoms) are investigated with changes of the half-angle or the depth of groove and shock strength.
