Abstract

The scope of molecular dynamics problems designed to simulate materials properties is described, focussing on the limits computation imposes on space and time scales, as well as the limits theoretical understanding imposes on our knowledge of interatomic forces. Five strategies for improving the efficiency of the simulations are described. Shock-induced solid-solid phase transformations are discussed to illustrate these ideas.
