Metal deformation studies lead to new understanding of materials at extreme conditions

Researchers have found a new tool to explore materials at extreme conditions. By combining very large-scale molecular dynamics simulations with time-resolved data from laser experiments of shock wave propagation through specific metals, scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are now able to better understand the evolution of high-strain-rate plasticity.
