A method for coupling atoms to continuum mechanics for capturing dynamic crack propagation
Résumé
Conventionally, dynamic crack propagation is modelled using fracture mechanics (either linear elastic, or with an extension to confined plasticity). Herein, we propose a different view, based on a coupling between an atomic description at the crack tip and a classical continuum description away from it. The paper presents the theoretical background and some first numerical results.
