elastic constant

Hi all,

Can LAMMPS calculate the elastic constants of Al? and how to do it?

Hi all,

Sorry, I don’t describe it detailedly. I have a EAM potential, and want to test it now. After read some paper, the elastic constant is a important

parameter. So can you tell me how to use LAMMPS to calculate it?

Cheers,

Yongning

Please have a look at $LAMMPS_DIR/examples/ELASTIC, where an example of calculating elastic constants is provided.
