The paper presents the results of molecular dynamics simulation of deformation and fracture of a "copper-molybdenum" nanocomposite plate under uniaxial tension. It is shown that plastic deformation in shear bands in the copper culminates in the pore formation at the Cu-Mo contact boundary. In the molybdenum, deformation develops through martensite transformation and formation of a new phase.
