Original Abstract
The emphasis was put on the estimation of the boundary between length scales where the continuum mechanics is still valid and the length scales, where the discrete molecular structure has to be taken into account resulting in the need to apply molecular dynamics models. It was shown that the boundary does not represent a simple constant characteristic of a given composite system; however, it can change under varying test conditions such as time, temperature or strain. It seems that combining the strain-gradient continuum elasticity with the molecular dynamics could provide suitable bridging law capable of transforming the peculiarities of the nano-scale effects into the behavior of continuous matter at larger length scales.
