2 Contents Motivation Force Fields Results Concluding Remarks

3 Motivation 1 Nanomechanics provides valuable information regarding material properties in nano- to subnano- level. Can investigate the interaction of clay minerals and chemicals, to supply input parameters for higher h scale mechanics, bio degradation of environmental materials and so on. Force field is most important. Force field is based on non deterministic mechanics so called Heiderberg s principle of uncertainty.

4 Motivation 2 Each force field has its own assumptions or approximations. Without selecting the correct field molecular mechanics simulation may be a black box. Rational force fields for soils are not researched extensively.

7 Force Field Coupled Molecular Mechanics From experiments From theory From empricism Combination Typically a proper force field is determined from the crystal structure of molecules. Soils with impurities have very complicated structures, and selection of the proper force field is difficult. Several force fields are tried in this study.

11 Concluding Remarks COMPASS, the one which has a capability to obtain constants from ab-initio quantum mechanics, generally shows the most reasonable results for quartz sands. PCFF and CVFF resulted in much higher modulus and incorrect results for sands. Universal, the one which is based on conventional molecular mechanics, also showed unrealistic results for sands. However, Discover COMPASS did not show reasonable results for Jennite From the study, the importance of selecting the proper force field is demonstrated.
