Abstract
Conventionally, dynamic crack propagation is modelled using fracture mechanics (either linear elastic, or with an extension to confined plasticity). Herein, we propose a different view, based on a coupling between an atomic description at the crack tip and a classical continuum description away from it. The paper presents the theoretical background and some first numerical results.
