Abstract

The stresses, displacement gradients, and Eshelby's F and M integrals are obtained for two crack orientations in an EAM atomic model of aluminum. For a sharp crack, the stresses are shown to agree quite well with the linear elastic prediction, and F is essentially path independent and also in good agreement with the linear elastic prediction. When dislocation emission and blunting ensues, the path independence of F disappears. In addition, for circular contours with origin at the crack tip, the M-integral is linear in contour radius with slope equal to twice the surface energy and zero intercept for a sharp crack, but acquires a nonzero intercept as blunting occurs. The shift in intercept is related to the movement of singularities away from the origin.
