Cauchy–Born Rule and the Stability of Crystalline Solids: Static Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the connection between atomistic and continuum models for the elastic deformation of crystalline solids at zero temperature. We prove, under certain sharp stability conditions, that the correct nonlinear elasticity model is given by the classical Cauchy–Born rule in the sense that elastically deformed states of the atomistic model are closely approximated by solutions of the continuum model with stored energy functionals obtained from the Cauchy–Born rule. The analysis is carried out for both simple and complex lattices, and for this purpose, we develop the necessary tools for performing asymptotic analysis on such lattices. Our results are sharp and they also suggest criteria for the onset of instabilities of crystalline solids.

We study continuum and atomistic models for the elastodynamics of crystalline solids at zero temperature. We establish sharp criterion for the regime of validity of the nonlinear elastic wave equations derived from the well-known Cauchy-Born rule.
متن کاملTemperature-related Cauchy–Born rule for multiscale modeling of crystalline solids
In this study, we develop a temperature-related Cauchy–Born (TCB) rule for multiscale modeling of crystalline solids based on the assumptions that deformation is locally homogeneous and atoms have the same local vibration mode. When employing the TCB rule in the nanoscale continuum approximation, the first Piola–Kirchhoff stress can be explicitly computed as the first derivative of the Helmholt...
متن کاملA temperature-related homogenization technique and its implementation in the meshfree particle method for nanoscale simulations
A new homogenization technique, the temperature-related Cauchy–Born (TCB) rule, is proposed in this paper with the consideration of the free energy instead of the potential energy. Therefore, temperature effects at the nanoscale can be investigated using continuum approximation with the implementation of the TCB rule. The TCB rule is verified via stress analyses of several crystalline solids. T...

متن کاملStability of crystalline solids—I: Continuum and atomic lattice considerations
Many crystalline materials exhibit solid-to-solid martensitic phase transformations in response to certain changes in temperature or applied load. These martensitic transformations result from a change in the stability of the material’s crystal structure. It is, therefore, desirable to have a detailed understanding of the possible modes through which a crystal structure may become unstable. The...
