virial method applies only to system in equilibrium

The virial method applies only to system in equilibrium. Your simulations are in dynamic processes.

Hi Henry - they are calculated using the virial theorem.

Regards,

Harold

how are the stresses and strains calculated in Figure 9, 10 and 11, of nanowires loaded in tension and compression?

Extraordinary writing. As usual. The pictures could be vectorial though. They look good, but we can see the pixels.
