The lattice Green's function method (LGFM) is the discrete counterpart of the continuum boundary element method and is a natural approach for solving intrinsically discrete solid mechanics problems that arise in atomistic-continuum coupling methods. Here, ...
The FE2 method is a renown computational multiscale simulation technique for solid materials with fine-scale microstructure. It allows for the accurate prediction of the mechanical behavior of structures made of heterogeneous materials with nonlinear mater ...
Capturing plasticity at realistic dislocation densities with high configurational complexity requires a continuum-leveldiscrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) description. However, many features controlling dislocation motion areinherently atomistic, such as t ...
Atomistic/continuum (A/C) coupling schemes have been developed during the past twenty years to overcome the vast computational cost of fully atomistic models, but have not yet reached full maturity to address many problems of practical interest. This work ...
Computational multiscale methods such as the FE2 technique (Feyel, 1999) come along with large demands in both CPU time and memory. In order to significantly reduce the computational cost of multiscale methods the authors recently proposed a hybrid computa ...
