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…
The microscopic definition for the Cauchy stress tensor has been examined in the past from many different perspectives. This has led to different expressions for the stress tensor and consequently the "correct" definition has been a subject…
Stress tensors are derived for the multiparticle collision dynamics algorithm, a particle-based mesoscale simulation method for fluctuating fluids, resembling those of atomistic or molecular systems. Systems with periodic boundary…
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…
Atomistic simulation has been a powerful study tool in mechanics research, but how to objectively compute the atomic stress equivalent to Cauchy stress is still controversial, especially on the velocity-related part in the virial stress…
