Abstract A multiscale simulation technique coupling three scales, namely, the molecular dynamics (MD) at the atomistic scale, the discrete dislocations at the meso scale and the generalized interpolation material point (GIMP) method at the continuum scale is presented. Discrete dislocations are first coupled with GIMP using the principle of superposition (van der Giessen and Needleman (1995)). A detection band seeded in the MD region is used to pass the dislocations to and from the MD simulations (Shilkrot, Miller and Curtin (2004)). A common domain decomposition scheme for each of the three scales was implemented for parallel More >
