摘要
Shock responses of Mg-Al-Zn alloy are investigated by the molecular dynamics(MD)method.The wave propagation,plastic deformation behavior and failure mechanism along the[0001]and[1010]orientations are analyzed.For both orientations,simulation results show that the shock wave has an obvious double-wave structure(plastic-elastic)under a piston velocity of 1200 m/s.A higher Hugoniot elastic limit(HEL)is observed for[0001]-oriented shock.When the shock pressure is along the[1010]direction,the distance between plastic and elastic waves is closer,and higher dislocation density and more twins are observed.Moreover,the spall strength for[1010]-oriented shock is predicted to be higher.In addition,the wave interactions,HEL and spall strength predicted for Mg-Al-Zn alloy are compared with the experimental results and MD simulation results of Mg single crystal in the literature.It is concluded that the shock performance of Mg-Al-Zn is better than that of Mg single crystal.
