Flaw-driven Failure in Nanostructures [article]

X. Wendy Gu, Zhaoxuan Wu, Yong-Wei Zhang, David J. Srolovitz, Julia R. Greer
2013 arXiv   pre-print
Understanding failure in nanomaterials is critical for the design of reliable structural materials and small-scale devices that have components or microstructural elements at the nanometer length scale. No consensus exists on the effect of flaws on fracture in bulk nanostructured materials or in nanostructures. Proposed theories include nanoscale flaw tolerance and maintaining macroscopic fracture relationships at the nanoscale with virtually no experimental support. We explore fracture

Nanocrystalline Pt cylinders with diameters of 120 nm with intentionally introduced surface notches were created using a template-assisted electroplating method and tested in uniaxial tension in in-situ SEM. Experiments demonstrate that 8 out of 12 samples failed at the notches and that tensile failure strengths were 1.8 GPa regardless of whether failure occurred at or away from the flaw. These findings suggest that failure location was sensitive to the presence of flaws, while strength was flaw-insensitive. Molecular dynamics simulations support these observations and show that incipient plastic deformation commences via nucleation and motion of dislocations in concert with grain boundary sliding. We postulate that such local plasticity reduces stress concentration ahead of the flaw to levels comparable with the strengths of intrinsic microstructural features like grain boundary triple junctions, a phenomenon unique to nano-scale solids that contain an internal microstructural energy landscape. This mechanism causes failure to occur at the weakest link, be it an internal inhomogeneity or a surface feature with a high local stress.

High-density model for server allocation and placement

Craig W. Cameron, Steven H. Low, David X. Wei
2002 Performance Evaluation Review  
It is well known that optimal server placement is NP-hard. We present an approximate model for the case when both clients and servers are dense, and propose a simple server allocation and placement algorithm based on high-rate vector quantization theory. The key idea is to regard the location of a request as a random variable with probability density that is proportional to the demand at that location, and the problem of server placement as source coding, i.e., to optimally map a source value
