Size, Temperature, and Strain-Rate Dependence on Tensile Mechanical Behaviors of Ni₃Sn₄ Intermetallic Compound Using Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Figure 8

Stress-strain responses of the Ni₃Sn₄ nanowire model of three different sizes constructed along the -axis as a function of temperature and strain rate.

(a) Strain rate = 10⁻⁴% ps⁻¹

(b) Strain rate = 5 × 10⁻⁴% ps⁻¹

(c) Strain rate = 10⁻³% ps⁻¹

(d) Strain rate = 5 × 10⁻³% ps⁻¹

(e) Strain rate = 10⁻²% ps⁻¹
