First/Principle Studies

Fe–Cr Elastic Constants — DFT → ML → Calphad → FEM

Composition dependent Fe–Cr reduced elastic-constant across the full BCC composition range and room temp- to 1200k— corrected Eᵣ tracks Hill VRH within ±12%.

Si Nanowire Mechanical Response — Parametric MD

Uniaxial tensile deformation of [001] Si nanowires across 16 (diameter × strain-rate) combinations using the Tersoff potential. Surface-to-volume ratio, not strain rate, controls stiffness.

Graphene Dirac Cone under Uniaxial Strain — DFT

First-principles PBE study (Quantum ESPRESSO) of Dirac cone robustness under 0–20% zigzag strain. 2D k-scans reveal the 1D band-path overestimates the gap 23× at 4% — the cone survives until ~10%.
