Abstract
A homogenization technique was developed and presented to replace a discrete atomic domain by an equivalent continuum domain that could be discretized into finite elements. Equivalent material properties of the smeared continuum domain were computed from the atomic model. Using the developed technique, a computationally efficient analysis could be performed for a large size of domain by proper mixture of a discrete atomic region and a smeared continuum region. In addition, this technique provided a means for multi-scale analysis. Examples for static and dynamic analyses were provided to demonstrate the technique.
