Dear lammps users,

i had some questions.

what is shear waves in MD simulations?
How to know that shear waves are generated in the crystal after the temperature is introduced?
is the shear waves are generated due to temperature?
how to know the effect of shear waves on the simulations?
at low temp what is the effect of shear waves?

thanking you
&
with best regards

If you start pulling/pushing on a system, e.g. from one
surface, you can induce shear/tensile waves in the system.
They can be large or small depending on how hard you perturb
the system. Whether that's bad or a desired effect depends
on what you want to model.
