Abstract
► Fracture mechanism of confined brittle nanosolid is studied. ► Molecular dynamics is employed for analysis. ► Mode of fracture at the nanoscale is different from macroscale. ► Boundary constraints significantly affect the failure strain and critical stress intensity factor. ► Crystal orientation affects fracture path.
