Abstract

In contrast to field-based continuum mechanics, particle-based methods can take into account the specific atomistic structure of the material under consideration. In our approach the system consists of a particle region that is coupled to a continuum by introducing a bridging domain
where both regions overlap. The particle domain is computed by Molecular Dynamics (MD)
at finite temperature, while the continuum is discretized and solved using the Finite Element
Method (FEM). In addition to existing coupling schemes, the particles are tethered to anchor
points which transfer displacements and forces between the different domains.
