🧪 LAMMPS-Based Materials Simulations (Beginner Projects)

GitHub repo size GitHub last commit License: MIT

Welcome! This is a personal collection of beginner-level materials simulation projects using LAMMPS, ATOMK and OVITO. These projects were developed during my self-directed learning journey in molecular dynamics for materials science.

🟡 This work is part of my learning journey in materials simulation. I'm currently exploring and learning. I'm very open to research opportunities, mentorship, collaborations, or support that can help me grow in this space.


🔍 What You'll Find Here

Each project simulates different materials systems using molecular dynamics. The simulations involve:

  • Generating atomic structures
  • Applying deformations or thermal effects
  • Visualising atomic behaviour
  • Analysing outputs like stress-strain curves and dislocation patterns

🧰 Project List

Project Description
Pure Cu Creating a single crystal atom and finding its lattice parameters
Cylinderical alloy Creation Shows how to create an alloy of a cylinderical shape
Al-10%Cu Tensile deformation Simulation Simulates tensile behavior of Al-10%Cu and visualizes dislocation motion
AlMgC Atom Creation Shows how to create an Alloy of components/atoms
Lammps Molecular Simulation on Google Colab Running Lammps on Google Colab due to system limitations and comparing the process and result with that of the local system

🔒 A draft version of this project is maintained privately

Cantor Alloy Study Explores compositional stability in high-entropy alloys

More projects will be added as I continue to learn and experiment.


📦 Tools Used

  • LAMMPS – Molecular Dynamics Simulator
  • OVITO – Visualization
  • Python – For basic data post-processing
  • ATOMSK (optional) – For Creating Alloys

🤝 Looking to Collaborate?
