Plotting stress strain curve for gold

In this blog, I am showing a method using which stress-strain curve can be plotted for any given metal. I am using gold as an example here.

Finding elastic constants for Gold using molecular dynamics method

Continuing my previous blog here I will be showing how to calculate elastic constants of metals (illustrating gold as an example here). As stated earlier, 2 separate simulations will be performed in order to calculate the elastic constants.
