The Atomic-scale Finite Element Method for Analyzing Mechanical Behavior of Carbon Nanotube and Quartz

<p>The mechanical behavior of discrete atoms has been studied with molecular dynamics whose computational time is proportional to the square of the number of atoms, O(N2). Recently, a faster algorithm, Atomic-scale Finite Element Method (AFEM) with computational time proportional to the number...
