A molecular dynamics approach to the deformation and stress analysis in structured materials is presented. A new deformation measure for a lumped mass system of points is proposed. In full consistency with the continuum mechanical description, three kinds of stress tensors for the discrete system of atoms are defined. A computer simulation for a set of 10^5 atoms forming a sheet undergoing tension (Case 1) and contraction (Case 2) is given. Characteristic microstress distributions evoked...
