quasicontinuum

The mechanical behavior of mono- and multi- layered graphene and carbon nanotube (CNT) systems has attracted great attention over the last decade because of their importance in nano-science and nanotechnology.

Dear Colleagues,

I wish to bring to your attention my recent work with Liping Liu on "A homogenization analysis of the field theoretic approach to the quasi-continuum method" to appear in the Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids. Below is the abstract and attached is the preprint of the article. I will very much appreciate your comments and suggestions.
