<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Define a computation that computes the symmetric per-atom stress
tensor for each atom in a group. The tensor for each atom has 6
components and is stored as a 6-element vector in the following order:
xx, yy, zz, xy, xz, yz. See the <a class="reference internal" href="compute_pressure.html"><span class="doc">compute pressure</span></a> command if you want the stress tensor
(pressure) of the entire system.</p>
<p>The stress tensor for atom <em>I</em> is given by the following formula,
where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> take on values x,y,z to generate the 6 components of
the symmetric tensor:</p>
<img alt="_images/stress_tensor.jpg" class="align-center" src="_images/stress_tensor.jpg" />
<p>The first term is a kinetic energy contribution for atom <em>I</em>. See
details below on how the specified <em>temp-ID</em> can affect the velocities
used in this calculation. The second term is a pairwise energy
contribution where <em>n</em> loops over the <em>Np</em> neighbors of atom <em>I</em>, <em>r1</em>
and <em>r2</em> are the positions of the 2 atoms in the pairwise interaction,
and <em>F1</em> and <em>F2</em> are the forces on the 2 atoms resulting from the
pairwise interaction. The third term is a bond contribution of
similar form for the <em>Nb</em> bonds which atom <em>I</em> is part of. There are
similar terms for the <em>Na</em> angle, <em>Nd</em> dihedral, and <em>Ni</em> improper
interactions atom <em>I</em> is part of. There is also a term for the KSpace
contribution from long-range Coulombic interactions, if defined.
Finally, there is a term for the <em>Nf</em> <a class="reference internal" href="fix.html"><span class="doc">fixes</span></a> that apply
internal constraint forces to atom <em>I</em>. Currently, only the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_shake.html"><span class="doc">fix shake</span></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="fix_rigid.html"><span class="doc">fix rigid</span></a> commands
contribute to this term.</p>
<p>As the coefficients in the formula imply, a virial contribution
produced by a small set of atoms (e.g. 4 atoms in a dihedral or 3
atoms in a Tersoff 3-body interaction) is assigned in equal portions
to each atom in the set. E.g. 1/4 of the dihedral virial to each of
the 4 atoms, or 1/3 of the fix virial due to SHAKE constraints applied
to atoms in a a water molecule via the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_shake.html"><span class="doc">fix shake</span></a>
command.</p>
<p>If no extra keywords are listed, all of the terms in this formula are
included in the per-atom stress tensor. If any extra keywords are
listed, only those terms are summed to compute the tensor. The
<em>virial</em> keyword means include all terms except the kinetic energy
<em>ke</em>.</p>
<p>Note that the stress for each atom is due to its interaction with all
other atoms in the simulation, not just with other atoms in the group.</p>
<p>Details of how LAMMPS computes the virial for individual atoms for
either pairwise or manybody potentials, and including the effects of
periodic boundary conditions is discussed in <a class="reference internal" href="#thompson"><span class="std std-ref">(Thompson)</span></a>.
The basic idea for manybody potentials is to treat each component of
the force computation between a small cluster of atoms in the same
manner as in the formula above for bond, angle, dihedral, etc
interactions. Namely the quantity R dot F is summed over the atoms in
the interaction, with the R vectors unwrapped by periodic boundaries
so that the cluster of atoms is close together. The total
contribution for the cluster interaction is divided evenly among those
atoms.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="dihedral_charmm.html"><span class="doc">dihedral_style charmm</span></a> style calculates
pairwise interactions between 1-4 atoms. The virial contribution of
these terms is included in the pair virial, not the dihedral virial.</p>
<p>The KSpace contribution is calculated using the method in
<a class="reference internal" href="#heyes"><span class="std std-ref">(Heyes)</span></a> for the Ewald method and by the methodology described
in <a class="reference internal" href="pair_srp.html#sirk"><span class="std std-ref">(Sirk)</span></a> for PPPM. The choice of KSpace solver is specified
by the <a class="reference internal" href="kspace_style.html"><span class="doc">kspace_style pppm</span></a> command. Note that for
PPPM, the calcluation requires 6 extra FFTs each timestep that
per-atom stress is calculated. Thus it can significantly increase the
cost of the PPPM calculation if it is needed on a large fraction of
the simulation timesteps.</p>
<p>The <em>temp-ID</em> argument can be used to affect the per-atom velocities
used in the kinetic energy contribution to the total stress. If the
kinetic energy is not included in the stress, than the temperature
compute is not used and can be specified as NULL. If the kinetic
energy is included and you wish to use atom velocities as-is, then
<em>temp-ID</em> can also be specified as NULL. If desired, the specified
temperature compute can be one that subtracts off a bias to leave each
atom with only a thermal velocity to use in the formula above, e.g. by
subtracting a background streaming velocity. See the doc pages for
individual <a class="reference internal" href="compute.html"><span class="doc">compute commands</span></a> to determine which ones
include a bias.</p>
<hr class="docutils" />
<p>Note that as defined in the formula, per-atom stress is the negative
of the per-atom pressure tensor. It is also really a stress*volume
formulation, meaning the computed quantity is in units of
pressure*volume. It would need to be divided by a per-atom volume to
have units of stress (pressure), but an individual atom&#8217;s volume is
not well defined or easy to compute in a deformed solid or a liquid.
See the <a class="reference internal" href="compute_voronoi_atom.html"><span class="doc">compute voronoi/atom</span></a> command for
one possible way to estimate a per-atom volume.</p>
<p>Thus, if the diagonal components of the per-atom stress tensor are
summed for all atoms in the system and the sum is divided by dV, where
d = dimension and V is the volume of the system, the result should be
-P, where P is the total pressure of the system.</p>
<p>These lines in an input script for a 3d system should yield that
result. I.e. the last 2 columns of thermo output will be the same:</p>
