DETERMINING THE MODULUS OF DILATATION OF VARIOUS MATERIALS USING THE MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS METHOD

Within the framework of the molecular-dynamics method, the authors have investigated the dependence of the modulus of dilatation of metals on the dimension of a nanostructure. For this purpose, use was made of the original procedure of numerical experiment, developed by the authors. It has been shown that beginning with a certain critical dimension, the modulus of dilatation grows as the nanostructure's dimension decreases.
