A hybrid static–dynamic continuum approach for concurrent atomistic‐to‐continuum methods

Concurrent atomistic‐to‐continuum methods commonly employ either a dynamic or a quasi‐static continuum model. Both of these approaches have advantages and drawbacks which render their applicability problem‐specific. We present a new hybrid static–dynamic continuum model, which combines the advantages of both approaches while potentially removing the drawbacks. This numerical approach is an innovative superposition of a dynamic and a quasi‐static...
