摘要
The research activities of the calculation of the elastic constants of metal are mainly focused on the elastic constants of crystal at the micro level. To the calculation of the macroscopic elastic constants of metal, although molecular dynamics method and quasicontinuum method can be used, but there are shortcomings in them, such as a large amount of computation and that the spatial scale of the study model is limited. Therefore, with a pure metal thin plate composed of a single layer of microscopic particles as research object, a new mechanical model is established after the interactions between microscopic particles of the thin plate are applied on the continuum mechanics model of the thin plate. According to this model, the calculation formulas for the microscopic elastic constants, which are the elastic constants of any triangle region in the model, are obtained. After the concept of the ideal micro structure is presented, the calculation formulas for the macroscopic elastic constants, the elastic modulus and the Poisson’s ratio of pure metal are obtained, where the Poisson＇s ratio is the constant that is equal to 1？3. As an example, the elastic constants and the elastic modulus of pure copper are solved, where c11 is 175.811 GPa, c12 is 58.604 GPa, c33 is 58.604 GPa and E is 156.277 GPa, the rationality and the correctness of the model are verified. The model presented fully embodies the discreteness of the microstructure of solid, is a development to the continuum model, and is more suitable to reality, more simplified and more new to the study of the macroscopic elastic constants of pure metal.
