The ideal tensile strength in the [0 0 1] direction of bcc crystal tungsten and its alloys (W-Re, W-Ta and W-V) has been investigated by using first-principles total energy method based on the density functional theory. Crystalline tungsten containing a single substitutional defect (concentration of defects about 2%) has been characterized in terms of structural and mechanical properties. The maximum tensile stress required to reach elastic instability under increasing load has been further computed.

Abstract
The ideal tensile strength in the [0 0 1] direction of bcc crystal tungsten and its alloys (W-Re, W-Ta and W-V) has been investigated by using first-principles total energy method based on the density functional theory. Crystalline tungsten containing a single substitutional defect (concentration of defects about 2%) has been characterized in terms of structural and mechanical properties. The maximum tensile stress required to reach elastic instability under increasing load has been further computed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
