Pattabhi Ramaiah
Motivation
The eXtended BSM for fracture
Adaptivity
Numerical Examples
Bridging Scale Method
u = ū+ũ
Total displacement
Coarse scale solution
XBSM Overview
Fine scale lattice (111) atoms of FCC crystal
Coarse scale – VAC model with phantom node
Coupling – Displacement bc's.

Fine scale model : Lattice
LJ potential – to model atomatom interactions
FCC unit lattice
(111) plane atoms
Virtual Atom Cluster model
Each atom has the same environment
Possess 6 nearest neighbors
Coarse scale model
The total displacement
The phantom node method
Cracked element = two overlapping elements
