ABSTRACTThe primary aim of this study is to enhance our understanding of friction stir welding (FSW) at the atomic level. To accomplish this, we utilised molecular dynamics simulations to examine the nanoscale fusion welding of dissimilar metals, i.e. aluminium and copper, through the FSW method. Our particular focus was on how the rotation speed of the tool affects structural changes and defect evolution during the nanoscale FSW process. Our research findings revealed that the region subjected to frictional stirring undergoes a phase change as a result of extensive plastic deformation during the FSW operation. Notably, stacking faults and similar defects were predominantly observed on the advancing side as the tool rotated and moved into the friction stir zone. Further, investigation of atomic shear strain snapshots indicated that higher rotational speeds resulted in a broader and more scattered friction stir zone, requiring a longer recovery time compared to slower rotational speeds. Additionally, the changes in atomic concentration during FSW have been studied using displacement vectors, concentration profiles and diffusion coefficient parameters. We also conducted simulation-based tensile and shear deformation tests, which revealed that higher tool rotational speeds led to enhanced material interlocking, consequently improving the mechanical strength of the FSW joints.KEYWORDS: Dissimilar materialfriction stir weldingmolecular dynamic simulationnano welding Conflicts of interestThe authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.Authors contribution statementAll the authors are actively involved in Conceptualisation; Data curation; Formal analysis; Investigation; Methodology; Resources; Software; Supervision; Validation; Visualisation; Writing – original manuscript draft; Writing – review & editing.Data availabilityThe raw/processed data required to reproduce these findings cannot be shared at this time because it is a part of an ongoing study.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTWith the ever-increasing use and applications of nanowires it has never been more imperative to understand how environmental interactions modify their unique mechanical properties and loading behaviour. While experimental research has shown that atomic hydrogen degrades mechanical properties through hydrogen embrittlement, results are limited and often do not directly quantify the hydrogen concentration or consider small diameter nanowires. In this study, we have used molecular dynamics simulations to the study the effect of atomic hydrogen on iron nanowires with various orientations and diameters. Results demonstrate that with increasing hydrogen concentration there is a clear reduction in the elastic modulus and yield stress as compared to the hydrogen free case for all diameters and orientations considered. In addition, this reduction in mechanical properties appears to exhibit a size dependence, with larger reductions being found in nanowires with larger cross-sectional diameters. We suggest that smaller diameter nanowires, with a higher ratio of surface to bulk atoms, are more influenced by free surface atoms than lattice distortions from atomic hydrogen. As this ratio of surface to bulk atoms is decreased, the larger diameter nanowires become less affected by free surfaces and more susceptible to the effect of atomic hydrogen.KEYWORDS: Nanowireshydrogen embrittlementelastic modulus AcknowledgementsDr. Morrissey would like to acknowledge the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada for their support of the research via the Discovery Grant.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

ABSTRACTThe molecular dynamics simulation method is used to study the internal energy, pressure, isochoric heat capacity, and sound speed of helium based on the state-of-the-art ab initio potentials. The simulations cover a wide temperature and density range of (20–2000) K and (0.0005–70) molL−1. The uncertainty of simulation data are evaluated based on the uncertainty of the potential and the uncertainty of the simulation method. At temperatures below 300 K, the quantum Feynman-Hibbs modified potential and the Wigner-Kirkwood modified potential are introduced and the results are almost the same as those by the original ab initio potential. The modified potentials can not reasonably describe the quantum effects for the helium fluid at low temperatures, which become obvious below 200 K. The two-body ab initio potential is combined with the three-body ab initio potential to evaluate the influence of multi-body interactions at high densities. When the density is lower than 45 molL−1, the contribution of the three-body term to our simulation data is not significant. As a result, the three-body potential is omitted in our calculations to improve the overall computational efficiency. The thermodynamic property data of this work show agreement with the experimental data in the literature as well as the NIST Refprop 10.0 data at temperatures above 200 K and densities below 45 molL−1.KEYWORDS: Helium fluidthermodynamic propertyab initio potentialmolecular dynamicsuncertainty Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China [grant number 51936009] and the Natural Science Basic Research Program of Shaanxi [grant number 2022JQ-393]

ABSTRACTThe resin material PA6 has a wide range of application in engineering due to its excellent mechanical properties. The friction behaviour of PA 6 was studied using molecular dynamics simulation method in this study. The effects of temperature, sliding speed and wear depth on the friction performance of PA6 were studied, and the surface micromorphology of PA 6 model also was analysed. The main conclusions are as follows: Within the temperature range selected in this experiment, the temperature has no significant influence on friction and surface micromorphology of PA6. As the friction speed decreases, the friction decreases slightly. The coefficient of friction increases slightly with the increase of friction speed. The greater the wear depth is, the more pronounced the ploughing and debris accumulation on the surface of PA6 is. The friction coefficient increases slightly with the increase of wear depth, but not significantly. The greater the wear depth is, the larger the friction fluctuation is.KEYWORDS: Molecular dynamics simulationPA6frictionslidingtemperature Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

ABSTRACTGlucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase deficiency is the most common enzymopathy. Current therapies for G6PD deficiency are unable to treat a broad range of pathogenic variants. In this study, we assess the structural dynamics of six G6PD variants using molecular dynamics simulation to correlate their genotypic and phenotypic attributes. G6PD multimerisation is highly influenced by its ligands G6P and NADP, where the former disrupts dimer formation, and the latter facilitates tetramerisation. Results of our simulation demonstrate that the WT and a relatively stable variant (G131V), were found to have greater NADP binding occupancy and hydrogen bonds between βN sheet of each monomeric subunit, thereby increasing the stability of the dimer interface. G6PD protein structures with high structural integrity at the dimer interface were found to be compact, characterised by low radius of gyration values, and increased surface area or high solvent-accessible surface area at the tetramer salt bridge residues. Using mutational clustering methods, a critical G6PD region at the βK–βL loop was identified and may serve as a potential target for treatment. We further extend this study to identify chemical compounds that induce modulatory effects on the protein using computer aided drug discovery which warrant further studies and future testing.KEYWORDS: Glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase deficiencyprotein multimerisationmolecular dynamics simulationcomputer aided drug discoverymolecular docking Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (FRGS) from the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE) under grant number FRGS/1/2019/SKK08/UTM/02/1 awarded to Dr Syazwani Itri Amran.

葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶缺乏症是最常见的酶病。目前针对G6PD缺乏症的治疗方法无法治疗广泛的致病变异。在这项研究中，我们使用分子动力学模拟来评估6种G6PD变异的结构动力学，以关联它们的基因型和表型属性。G6PD的聚合受到其配体G6P和NADP的高度影响，前者破坏二聚体的形成，后者促进四聚体的形成。我们的模拟结果表明，WT和相对稳定的变体(G131V)被发现具有更大的NADP结合占用率和每个单体亚基βN片之间的氢键，从而增加了二聚体界面的稳定性。在二聚体界面处具有高结构完整性的G6PD蛋白结构紧凑，具有低旋转半径值的特点，并且在四聚体盐桥残基处增加表面积或高溶剂可及表面积。利用突变聚类方法，在βK -βL环上发现了一个关键的G6PD区域，可能是治疗的潜在靶点。我们进一步扩展了这项研究，利用计算机辅助药物发现来识别诱导蛋白质调节作用的化合物，这需要进一步的研究和未来的测试。关键词:葡萄糖-6-磷酸脱氢酶缺陷蛋白多聚分子动力学模拟计算机辅助药物发现分子对接披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。本研究得到马来西亚高等教育部(MoHE)基础研究资助计划(FRGS)的支持，资助号为FRGS/1/2019/SKK08/UTM/02/1，授予Syazwani Itri Amran博士。这项工作还得到了校内研究基金的支持，赠款编号为4B363，由沙特阿拉伯王国卫生部授予muawia Ahmed Hamza博士。我们也感谢马来西亚科技大学(UTM)的资助，资助号为15J90。我们感谢吴建茂博士通过对项目的理智讨论提供的帮助。

ABSTRACTIn this work, adsorption and diffusion of CO2 on the Cu (111) surface, and Cu (111) surface modified by tungsten (W) and platinum (Pt) were studied and their electronic properties were examined using Density-functional theory (DFT) simulations. To specify the most favourable adsorption sites, the adsorption energies and distances of CO2 on various surface sites including on top, hexagonal close-packed (HCP), and bridge were calculated. The crystal orbital overlap population analysis was employed to investigate the properties and characteristics of chemical bonding. The computed Bader atomic charges of CO2 molecules on different catalyst surfaces indicated that the Cu-W alloy surface had a higher net charge transfer than other surfaces. This result suggests that the adsorption of CO2 on the Cu-W alloy surface is more powerful than on other surfaces. The outcomes indicated that the CO2 adsorption on the surfaces follows the order of Cu-W alloy > Cu-Pt alloy > Cu. Also, the diffusion on the alloy surfaces was faster than on the Cu surface, which confirms the adsorption energy.KEYWORDS: Adsorptionbimetallic surfacescopperplatinumtungsten AcknowledgmentThe authors of this work appreciate the financial support of the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad Research Council, Mashhad, Iran (Grant No. 3/58558).Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by Ferdowsi University of Mashhad: [grant number 3/58558].
