Finite element analysis of Cauchy-Born approximations to atomistic models

This paper is devoted to a new finite element consistency analysis of Cauchy–Born approximations to atomistic models of crystalline materials in two and three space dimensions. Through this approach new “atomistic Cauchy–Born” models are introduced and analyzed. These intermediate models can be seen...
