Using Molecular Dynamics as an experimentalist to study how much plastic work is converted to heat, does anyone have any comments on our paper?
When you load a metal and the deformation results in permanent plastic deformation, the input work should be converted into heat and thus dissipate. But for about 100 years people have struggled to ...
