Shearing in a Biomimetic Apatite-Protein Composite: Molecular Dynamics of Slip Zone Formation, Plastic Flow and Backcreep Mechanisms

We report molecular dynamics simulations of shear in a biomimetic hydroxyapatite-collagen composite. Our model exhibits elastic properties fully dominated by the inorganic component. However, beyond the elastic regime the biomolecules along with the hierarchical nature of the composite account for t...
