Mixed Mode loadings. All computations have been performed in the open flexible simulation tool LAMMPS. The implementation was realized with the Embedded-Atom Method potential (EAM) for the computation of material properties. The total number of atoms were varying from 300000 to 800000. The cracks are created by removing atoms of crystalline structures. The simulation was carried out at a temperature of 10 0 K. The typical plate has the dimensions 723x723x14.46 Angstroms. The most experiments are implemented for a plate with 720 thousand atoms. The crack is obtained by removing 180 atoms in the center. The crack length is 72.3 Angstroms and the crack thickness is 7.23 Angstroms. Thus 719820 atoms are involved in the calculations. The deformation of the plate is carried out by stretching and shifting it under the action of the NVT ensemble. The results of simulations are shown in Figs. 1-6.
