2. Molecular dynamics simulations 2.1. Mechanical properties of monocrystalline fcc copper and aluminum
First and foremost, the aim of our study is to determine the elastic properties of copper and aluminum single crystals by the molecular dynamics method effectuated in the open code LAMMPS. This is indispensable in order to be confident that the potential we have taken correctly models the properties of the material we are studying. The tensor of elastic modules can be determined using the potential energy of atoms ( ) U , which depends on the strain tensor and can be decomposed into a Taylor series:

where ij C is the elastic matrix elements, 0 V is the volume of the atomistic system. By modeling of various types of loadings, the values of potential energy and strains were obtained. According to the data computed, a curve of the dependence of energy on strains was constructed and an approximating curve was carried out. The coefficient standing in the second degree of the polynomial approximating curve was substituted into the formula (2). Thus, we obtained the tensor of elastic modules (in GPa):
