Large-Scale Atomistic Simulation of Sintering Process and Mechanical Properties of Al Matrix Composite with Different Reinforcements by Yongchao Zhu, Can Sui, Na Li, Lijuan Sun, Songtao Li

“…However, tensile processes revealed that two-dimensional (2D) materials seemed to have no clear impact on the direct strengthening effect, and anisotropy could not be observed in the large-scale models. The biggest GNSs even led to reductions in both the tensile strength and ductility of the Al–graphene composite, which coincided with some experimental reports. …”
