Discrete configurational mechanics for the computational study of atomistic fracture mechanics

We formulate discrete configurational mechanics in an atomistic setting, discuss the corresponding computational details, and demonstrate its utility via computational analyses of atomistic fracture mechanics problems. To this end, we first propose a novel Configurational-Force-Criterion (CFC) to pr...
