STRESS-BASED ATOMISTIC/CONTINUUM COUPLING: A NEW VARIANT OF THE QUASICONTINUUM APPROXIMATION
The force-based quasicontinuum (QCF) approximation is the principle that lies behind the most commonly used atomistic/continuum hybrid models for crystalline solids. Recent analyses have shown some potential pitfalls of the QCF method, particularly the lack of positive definiteness of the linearized...
