Figure 4.

Data interactions between the upper (continuum) model and lower (atomistic) models simulated for each quadrature point q of the mesh of the continuum; the projected strain tensor ϵ is passed down, while the homogenized stress tensor σ is transferred up. The local density ρ and the strain rate ${\dot{ϵ}}_c$ are constants of the continuum model, while the number of atoms N^a, the temperature T and the strain rate ${\dot{ϵ}}_a$ are constants of the atomistic model.
