A coupled meshfree technique/molecular dynamics method for multiscale stress and deformation analysis in computational mechanics
نویسنده
چکیده
A concurrent multiscale method has been developed based on the combination of the advanced meshfree method and molecular dynamics (MD). An advanced transition algorithm using regular transition particles was employed to ensure the compatibility of both displacements and their gradients. An effective local quasi-continuum approach is also applied to obtain the equivalent continuum strain energy density based on the atomistic potentials and Cauchy-Born rule. The influences of the size of transition region and the number of transition particles are investigated thoroughly. It has been demonstrated that the present multiscale simulation technique is very accurate and stable, and it has very good potential to develop a practical simulation tool for the multiscale systems in computational mechanics.

Multiscale Simulation Based on The Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) Method
A multiscale simulation technique based on the MLPG methods, and finite deformation mechanics, is developed, implemented, and tested. Several alternate time-dependent interfacial conditions, between the atomistic and continuum regions, are systematically studied, for the seamless multiscale simulation, by decomposing the displacement of atoms in the equivalentcontinuum region into long and shor...
متن کاملDynamics of Macro–Nano Mechanical Systems; Fixed Interfacial Multiscale Method
The continuum based approaches don’t provide the correct physics in atomic scales. On the other hand, the molecular based approaches are limited by the length and simulated process time. As an attractive alternative, this paper proposes the Fixed Interfacial Multiscale Method (FIMM) for computationally and mathematically efficient modeling of solid structures. The approach is applicable to mult...

In the present study, a vibration analysis of functionally graded rectangular nano-/microplates was considered based on modified nonlinear coupled stress exponential and trigonometric shear deformation plate theories. Modified coupled stress theory is a non-classical continuum mechanics theory. In this theory, a material-length scale parameter is applied to account for the effect of nanostructu...
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...

In this paper, a meshfree particle method with the stress point integration scheme is studied. It has been shown that this meshfree particle method with Lagrangian kernel can provide a stable method. A finite element mapping technique is introduced to insert stress points and to calculate volumes associated with particles/stress points so that the triangulation and the Voronoi diagram can be av...
