Dear Oleg and Marks Thank you for your quick reply. Sorry for late, I was away for two days. @Oleg: Yes I mean ultimate material strength. The sent paper is quite helping. In FIG. 2., stress-strain curve is drawn. We know applied strain but how can we measure stress (F/A). Ok A is known but What

Do you mean the ultimate material strength when you refer to "breaking point”? Straightforward calculations (like this one http://arxiv.org/pdf/1303.7259v1.pdf) are possible, but the obtained result will be orders (!) of magnitude higher than any practical values. The reason is that it is hard

Maybe it is appropriate to clarify this. As a rule plasticity occurs via dislocation motion and/or nucleation. While these can be modelled it is a complex calculation to obtain the needed terms. If you are interested in this read up on terms such as Peierls stresses, e.g.

Dear All Can we use WIEN2K fto know about breaking point of material? I know to calculate phonon spectrum (using phonopy) for the stability of material but not breaking. Also some information from elastic constant (like C11 = Young Mod.). -- Kind Regards Muhammad Sajjad Post Doctoral Fellow
