Analysis of the quasicontinuum method

<p>The aim of this work is to provide a mathematical and numerical analysis of the static quasicontinuum (QC) method. The QC method is, in essence, a finite element method for atomistic material models. By restricting the set of admissible deformations to linear splines with respect to a finit...
