What are the Methods to Study Fracture in Nanomaterials?
Several techniques are employed to study fracture in nanomaterials: 1. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): AFM can be used to measure the mechanical properties and observe the fracture process at the nanoscale. 2. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM): TEM allows for high-resolution imaging of crack initiation and propagation. 3. Molecular Dynamics (MD) Simulations: MD simulations provide insights into atomic-scale fracture mechanisms, allowing for the prediction of material behavior under stress.
