Abstract

Complimentary molecular dynamics and Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithms for the atomistic simulation of crystals at constant temperature and homogeneous tensorial pressure are summarized. The novel aspect of computational physics which unites these methods is the extension of the virial theorem to nonlinear elastic media. This guarantees the dynamical balance between the internal pressure, as determined by the interatomic potential, and effective external pressure, as determined by the applied laboratory pressure, and includes the elastic response of the material. Numerical examples are presented.
