  3. Background • Some phenomena (dislocation nucleation, cross-slip, crack formation and growth) involving plastic deformation and fracture of ductile materials are intrinsically atomistic. • Atomistic studies are usually unable to address large-scale deformation except with supercomputers. • So multi-scale methods are introduced in which certain key regions are modeled atomistically while most of the domain is treated with an approximate continuum model(such as FEM) and able to reduce computational cost.

  4. What is CADD • Coupled atomistic and discrete dislocation method(CADD) • CADD is one of the multi-scale methods. • CADD minimizes the number of atoms and replaces atomic degrees of freedom by continuum DOFS describing the continuum elastic displacements and the dislocation lines with little or no loss of accuracy.

  5. Model of CADD • Ⅰ: contain all the singularities and discontinuities (Discrete dislocation) • Ⅱ: smooth, continuous and ideally suited to FE (Linear elastic body bvp) • Ⅲ: atomistic region

  6. Model of CADD • Pad: • Passing of dislocations • Ensure that real atoms at and near the interface are properly coordinated • Mitigate the effect of the free surface that would be created on the atomistic region during the cutting process

  7. 1D Model • The total potential energy of CADD: • Where is the energy functional for chain of atoms, is the total continuum energy. • Where k1 is the stiffness for first-neighbour interaction, k2 is the stiffness for second –neighbour interactions.

  8. 1D Model • The total potential energy of CADD: • Where is the energy functional for chain of atoms, is the total continuum energy. • Where kc is the effective stiffness for the element. • For a proper value for kc in a state of uniform deformation,

  9. 1D Model Example • A chain of 101 atoms, • The displacement of atom 0 is fixed, • A force f =1 applied to atom 100, • K1=1,K2=1,Kc=6, • Interface I = 50, • Considering inhomogeneous deformation, apply additional force of magnitude f = 0.1 to atoms/nodes I-2, I-1, I. • The distance a between atoms is constant, the value is 1.

  10. 1D Model Example • Using MATLAB to solve this problem, [K]{d}={ f } • Ka: Stiffness of atoms part Kc: Stiffness of continuum part

  11. 1D Model Example W A Curtin and Ronald E Miller Atomistic/continuum coupling in computational materials science Our MATLAB solution

  12. Implementation We get the code package from http://qcmethod.org/ (This website serves as a clearinghouse for multi-scale method-related information.) Unzipped the package Download the terminal (Cygwin under windows)

  13. How to run the code Commands: % cd ~/QC/GB-example % Make QCCOMPILER=gnu (gFortran compiler) Finally, we need some tools to visualize the outputs. Here we used Tecplotto get the plots and even videos. After compile, we'll get executable—gb. Use commands % cd ~/QC/GB-example/Shear %../gb<gb_shear.in>gb_shear.out Run gb, we’ll get outputs.

  14. Example • This example builds an Al bi-crystal consisting of two face-centered cubic (fcc) crystals separated by a (111) twin plane. • The twin plan has a step, the height of which is equal to three (111) interplanarspacings. • The bi-crystal is subjected to an increasing uniform shear which causes the twin boundary to migrate in the direction perpendicular to the twin plane.

  15. Code: FEM part • The example presented here uses three-node linear elements with one Gauss point at the centroid of each element. The iso-parametric formulation is used. • A utility routine that can be used by the user_mesh routine to generate regular or symmetric meshes. • Eg. Set SymmetricMesh=.true, We get the finite mesh for the continuum region as: • The element, local node numbering and shape functions

  16. Results • Final mesh Final mesh in atom shape • Video
