Melting and alloying of Ni∕Al nanolaminates induced by shock loading: A molecular dynamics simulation study

Melting and alloying of Ni∕Al nanolaminates induced by shock loading: A molecular dynamics simulation study: "Author(s): Shijin Zhao, Timothy C. Germann, and Alejandro Strachan
We demonstrate that shock-induced melting can play a key role in accelerating the initiation and propagation of self-sustained exothermic alloying reactions in nanostructured Ni∕Al nanolaminates. Following a pronounced increase of the local pressure upon melting, due to structural expansion, ...
