چکیده

In this paper we study the Bridging Method recently developed by T. Belytschko and S. Xiao to couple continuum mechanics with molecular dynamics. This method uses an overlap zone where both models exist and where degrees of freedom are coupled. We analyze the method in the 1D case. Firstly, we show that the spatial weighting of the potential energy leads to some appreciable numerical artifacts. Then, after presenting a modification of the time integration scheme that removes such spurious effects, we introduce the method employed to numerically measure the wave reflection rates. The limitation of these reflections constitute a major issue in all existing coupling methods for dynamics simulations. After discussing some first results achieved from numerical measurements, we present a spectral analysis that attempts to explain the behavior of the coupling zone by treating it as an independent material. The predictions of this spectral analysis are finally compared to some parametric studies issued from 1D coupling simulations..

Belytschko and S. Xiao. Cette dernière couple une échelle continue avec une échelle atomique et utilise pour cela une zone de recouvrement où les deux modèles existent et où les degrés de liberté sont couplés. Nous analysons la méthode en dimension 1. Premièrement, on montre que la pondération spatiale de l’énergie potentielle conduit à d’importants artefacts numériques. Nous introduisons alors une modification du schéma d’intégration en temps qui élimine ces artefacts. Puis, nous présentons la méthode utilisée pour mesurer numériquement les taux de réflexion d’onde ainsi que des résultats numériques justifiant nos choix. Ensuite, nous détaillons une analyse spectrale du système multi échelles qui donne un début d’explication à certains comportements du matériau hybride. Pour terminer, les résultats de l’analyse spectrale sont comparés à des simulations numériques.

Analysis of High-order Approximations by Spectral Interpolation Applied to One- and Two-dimensional Finite Element Method

The implementation of high-order (spectral) approximations associated with FEM is an approach to overcome the difficulties encountered in the numerical analysis of complex problems. This paper proposes the use of the spectral finite element method, originally developed for computational fluid dynamics problems, to achieve improved solutions for these types of problems. Here, the interpolation n...

Dilations‎, ‎models‎, ‎scattering and spectral problems of 1D discrete Hamiltonian systems

In this paper, the maximal dissipative extensions of a symmetric singular 1D discrete Hamiltonian operator with maximal deficiency indices (2,2) (in limit-circle cases at ±∞) and acting in the Hilbert space ℓ_{Ω}²(Z;C²) (Z:={0,±1,±2,...}) are considered. We consider two classes dissipative operators with separated boundary conditions both at -∞ and ∞. For each of these cases we establish a self...

(In-)stability and Stabilization of QNL-Type Atomistic-to-Continuum Coupling Methods

We study the stability of ghost force-free energy-based atomistic-to-continuum coupling methods. In 1D we essentially complete the theory by introducing a universally stable a/c coupling as well as a stabilisation mechanism for unstable coupling schemes. We then present a comprehensive study of a two-dimensional scalar planar interface setting, as a step towards a general 2D/3D vectorial analys...
