<H3>bond_style harmonic/shift command

</PRE>
<P><B>Description:</B>
</P>
<P>The <I>harmonic/shift</I> bond style is a shifted harmonic bond that uses
the potential
</P>
<CENTER><IMG SRC = "Eqs/bond_harmonic_shift.jpg">
</CENTER>
<P>where r0 is the equilibrium bond distance, and rc the critical distance.
The potential is -Umin at r0 and zero at rc. The spring constant is
k = Umin / [ 2 (r0-rc)^2].
</P>
<P>The following coefficients must be defined for each bond type via the
<A HREF = "bond_coeff.html">bond_coeff</A> command as in the example above, or in
the data file or restart files read by the <A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A>
or <A HREF = "read_restart.html">read_restart</A> commands:

<P>This bond style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
"user-misc" package. See the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_3">Making
LAMMPS</A> section for more info on packages.
