Coupled Atomistic and Discrete Dislocation Method The coupled atomistic and discrete dislocation (CADD) method was developed by Shilkrot, Miller, Dewalt, and Curtin as a continuum/ atomistic hybrid methodology where defects (specifically dislocations) are allowed to move, can exist in both the atomistic and the continuum region, and, lastly, are permitted to cross the boundary between such domains. The methodology has later been expanded to model finite temperature as well. Similarly to the FEAt and CLS methods, CADD is based on a spatial separation of the physical problem into regions, which are modeled by either...
