Work conjugate pair of stress and strain in molecular dynamics

Certain stress and strain form a thermodynamic conjugate pair such that their strain energy equals to a scalar-valued potential energy. Different atomistic stresses and strains are analytically derived based on the work conjugate relation. It is numerically verified with both two-body and three-body...
