Stress is calculated routinely in atomistic simulations. The widely used microscopic stress formulas derived from classical or quantum mechanics, however, are distinct from the concept of Cauchy stress, i.e., the true mechanical tress. This…
The peridynamic stress formula proposed by Lehoucq and Silling [1, 2] is cumbersome to be implemented in numerical computations. Here, we show that the peridynamic stress tensor has the exact mathematical expression as that of the first…
Many recent papers have questioned Irving and Kirkwood's atomistic expression for stress. In Irving and Kirkwood's approach both interatomic forces and atomic velocities contribute to stress. It is the velocity-dependent part that has been…
For theories of relativistic matter fields there exist two possible definitions of the stress-energy tensor, one defined by a variation of the action with the coframes at fixed connection, and the other at fixed torsion. These two…
We re-examine the notion of stress in peridynamics. Based on the idea of traction we define two new peridynamic stress tensors $\mathbf{P}^{\mathbf{y}}$ and $\mathbf{P}$ which stand, respectively, for analogues of the Cauchy and 1st…

In this paper, we introduce a statistical field theory that describes the macroscopic mechanical forces in inhomogeneous Coulomb fluids. Our approach employs the generalization of Noether's first theorem for the case of fluctuating order…
In his work on stress functions Maxwell noted that given a planar truss the internal force distribution may be described by a piecewise linear, $C^0$ continuous version of the Airy stress function. Later Williams and McRobie proposed that…
The system of particles interacting via multibody interatomic potential of general form is considered. Possible variants of partition of the total force acting on a single particle into pair contributions are discussed. Two definitions for…
We discuss different definitions of pressure for a system of active spherical particles driven by a non-thermal coloured noise. We show that mechanical, kinetic and free-energy based approaches lead to the same result up to first order in…
In the present work, we first introduce a general framework for modelling complex multiscale fluids and then focus on the derivation and analysis of a new hybrid continuum-kinetic model. In particular, we combine conservation of mass and…

Stress, or pressure, is a central quantity in engineering and remains vital in molecular modelling. However, the commonly used virial stress tensor is invalid for an inhomogeneous fluid, which is essential in fluid dynamics and…
