机械与热力学性质(包括晶体缺陷影响)对工程材料评估至关重要。分子动力学模拟可在原子尺度揭示这些机制,但现有方法常依赖碎片化脚本,元数据不一致且缺乏溯源信息,导致可重复性差、互操作性弱。遵循开放科学的FAIR原则,我们提出一套可复用的原子级模拟工作流,集成与应用本体对齐的元数据标注,实现自动溯源与符合FAIR标准的数据输出。工作流涵盖状态方程、弹性张量、机械加载、热学性质、缺陷形成能及纳米压痕等关键物理量。验证了晶粒尺寸-强度关系(如Hall-Petch效应),并证明其可在不同势函数与材料间通用。该方法生成适配人工智能的仿真数据,支持新兴的代理型智能工作流,为知识驱动的机械与热力学模拟提供可推广的范式。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Mechanical and thermodynamic properties, including the influence of crystal defects, are critical for evaluating materials in engineering applications. Molecular dynamics simulations provide valuable insight into these mechanisms at the atomic scale. However, current practice often relies on fragmented scripts with inconsistent metadata and limited provenance, which hinders reproducibility, interoperability, and reuse. FAIR data principles and workflow-based approaches offer a path to address these limitations. We present reusable atomistic workflows that incorporate metadata annotation aligned with application ontologies, enabling automatic provenance capture and FAIR-compliant data outputs. The workflows cover key mechanical and thermodynamic quantities, including equation of state, elastic tensors, mechanical loading, thermal properties, defect formation energies, and nanoindentation. We demonstrate validation of structure-property relations such as the Hall-Petch effect and show that the workflows can be reused across different interatomic potentials and materials within a coherent semantic framework. The approach provides AI-ready simulation data, supports emerging agentic AI workflows, and establishes a generalizable blueprint for knowledge-based mechanical and thermodynamic simulations.
