Abstract

Inspired by the blending method developed by [P. Seleson, S. Beneddine, and S. Prudhome, \emph{A Force-Based Coupling Scheme for Peridynamics and Classical Elasticity}, (2013)] for the nonlocal-to-local coupling, we create a symmetric and consistent blended force-based Atomistic-to-Continuum (a/c) scheme for the atomistic chain in one-dimensional space. The conditions for the well-posedness of the underlying model are established by analyzing an optimal blending size and blending type to ensure the H1H^1 semi-norm stability for the blended force-based operator. We present several numerical experiments to test and confirm the theoretical findings.
