Abstract
Large scale molecular-dynamics simulations of plane shock loading in nanophase aluminum nitride are performed to reveal the interplay between shock- induced compaction, structural phase transformation and plastic deformation. The shock profile is calculated for a wide range of particle velocity from 0.2 km/s to 4 km/s. The calculated Hugoniot curves agree well with the experimental one. For lower particle velocity, below 0.8 km/s a single elastic wave is generated. For intermediate particle velocity, between 0.8 km/s and 4 km/s the generated shock wave splits into an elastic precursor and a wurtzite-to-rocksalt structural transformation wave. For particle velocities greater than 4 km/s a single overdriven transformation shock wave is generated above the longitudinal sound speed. These simulation results provide a microscopic view of the dynamic effects of shock impact on single crystal and nanophase high-strength ceramics.
