Abstract
The high temperature mechanical behaviours of silicon nitride are difficult to be investigated because it is hard to measure these structural changes in the mechanical test. Atomistic simulation is a proper way to investigate the structural-mechanical mechanism at high temperatures. In this paper, the structural and fracture properties of amorphous silicon nitride (a-Si3N4) were studied at different temperatures. The simulation results consist with the experiments on radial distribution function, temperature-dependent yield stress and Young’s modulus. Moreover, the effects of strain rate on mechanical properties were also studied, the results show a higher strain rate lead to larger yield stress and Young’s modulus.
