For the 1st question( elastic constants' calculations), you can read these papers (or chanpters of a book): 1-> M.J. Mehl, B.M. Klein, D.A. Papaconstantopoulos, in: J.H. west-Book, R.L. Fleisher(Eds.), Principles Intermetallic Compounds, vol. 1, Wiley, New York, 1995 (Chapter 9) 2-> M.J. Mehl,

Hello Adetunji Bamidele Ibrahim, for second question, this is very easy. First of all you need to calculate total energy for different volume or lattice constant in one phase (if you are looking phase transition from one structure to another one), also corresponding pressure then use enthalpy
