An analysis and initial results from a multiscale continuum-atomistic simulation of the Joule heating and melting of Cu-Al asperity contacts are presented. An analytic expression is given for the time needed to reach the Al melting point for an asperity as a function of the voltage drop and the asperity contact area. The coupled continuum-atomistic simulations capture the initial stages of the formation...
