Quasicontinuum method (Tadmor, Ortiz and Phillips, 1996; Knap and Ortiz, 2001)is a finite element type of method for analyzing the mechanicalbehavior of crystalline solids based on atomistic models. Atriangulation of the physical domain is formed using a subset of theatoms, the representative atoms (or rep-atoms). The rep-atoms areselected using an adaptive mesh refinement strategy. In […]
