Multi-scale modeling strategies in materials science—The quasicontinuum method
نویسنده
چکیده
The problem of prediction of finite temperature properties of materials poses great computational challenges. The computational treatment of the multitude of length and time scales involved in determining macroscopic properties has been attempted by several workers with varying degrees of success. This paper will review the recently developed quasicontinuum method which is an attempt to bridge the length scales in a single seamless model with the aid of the finite element method. Attempts to generalize this method to finite temperatures will be outlined.

Modeling with medical students' procrastination based on metacognitive beliefs mediating role of learning strategies
Introduction: Academic procrastination is a behavior that can be created following cognitive beliefs and structures and also be influenced by cognitive processes. Various factors related to perception and abilities play an important role in the occurrence of procrastination. The present study aimed to investigate the mediating role of learning strategies in the relationship between metacognitiv...
متن کاملThermal Expansion Behavior of Al and Ta Using a Finite-temperature Extension of the Quasicontinuum Method
Numerical methods that bridge the atomistic and continuum scales concurrently have been applied successfully to a number of materials science problems involving both nonlinear and long-range deformation fields. However, extension of these methods to finite temperature, nonequilibrium dynamics is difficult due to the intrinsic incoherency between molecular dynamics and continuum thermodynamics, ...
متن کاملThe Heterogeneous Multiscale Method and the “Equation-free” Approach to Multiscale Modeling
In many problems of multiscale modeling, we are interested in capturing the macroscale behavior of the system with the help of some accurate microscale models, bypassing the need of using empirical macroscale models. This paper gives an overview of the recent efforts on establishing general strategies for designing such algorithms. After reviewing some important classical examples, the Car-Parr...
متن کاملPositive 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 کاملA Multi-Formalism Modeling Framework: Formal Definitions, Model Composition and Solution Strategies
In this paper, we present a multi-formalism modeling framework (abbreviated by MFMF) for modeling and simulation. The proposed framework is defined based on the concepts of meta-models and uses object-orientation to overcome the complexities and to enhance the extensibility. The framework can be used as a basis for modeling by various formalisms and to support model composition in a unified man...
