Coupling Strategies Investigation of Hybrid Atomistic-Continuum Method Based on State Variable Coupling

Different configurations of coupling strategies influence greatly the accuracy and convergence of the simulation results in the hybrid atomistic-continuum method. This study aims to quantitatively investigate this effect and offer the guidance on how to choose the proper configuration of coupling st...
