Abstract
AbstractA new energy‐based quasicontinuum formulation is presented which is based on sampling the crystal energy at carefully‐chosen lattice sites and which allows for efficiently bridging from the atomistic to the continuum length scale. The presented technique is applied to experiments of nanoindentation whose microstructure‐induced size effects can now be studied with full atomistic detail at the micrometer scale without the necessity of phenomenological material models.
