Positive Definiteness of the Blended Force-Based Quasicontinuum Method
The development of consistent and stable quasicontinuum models for multidimensional crystalline solids remains a challenge. For example, proving the stability of the force-based quasicontinuum (QCF) model [M. Dobson and M. Luskin, M2AN Math. Model. Numer. Anal., 42 (2008), pp. 113–139] remains an open problem. In one and two dimensions, we show that by blending atomistic and Cauchy–Born continu...
متن کاملto appear in Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis ANALYSIS OF A FORCE-BASED QUASICONTINUUM APPROXIMATION
Abstract. We analyze a force-based quasicontinuum approximation to a one-dimensional system of atoms that interact by a classical atomistic potential. This force-based quasicontinuum approximation can be derived as the modification of an energy-based quasicontinuum approximation by the addition of nonconservative forces to correct nonphysical “ghost” forces that occur in the atomistic to contin...

متن کاملIterative Methods for the Force-based Quasicontinuum Approximation
Force-based atomistic-continuum hybrid methods are the only known pointwise consistent methods for coupling a general atomistic model to a finite element continuum model. For this reason, and due to their algorithmic simplicity, force-based coupling methods have become a popular approach for atomistic-continuum hybrid methods as well as other types of multiphysics model coupling. However, the r...
متن کاملSharp Stability Estimates for the Force-based Quasicontinuum Method
A sharp stability analysis of atomistic-to-continuum coupling methods is essential for evaluating their capabilities for predicting the formation and motion of lattice defects. We formulate a simple one-dimensional model problem and give a detailed analysis of the stability of the force-based quasicontinuum (QCF) method. The focus of the analysis is the question whether the QCF method is able t...
