Syntax:
compute ID group-ID plasticity/atom
Examples:
compute 1 all plasticity/atom
Description:
Define a computation that calculates the per-atom plasticity for each atom in a group. This is a quantity relevant for Peridynamics models. See this document for an overview of LAMMPS commands for Peridynamics modeling.
The plasticity for a Peridynamic particle is the so-called consistency parameter (lambda). For elastic deformation lambda = 0, otherwise lambda > 0 for plastic deformation. For details, see (Mitchell) and the PDF doc included in the LAMMPS distro in doc/PDF/PDLammps_EPS.pdf.
This command can be invoked for one of the Peridynamic pair styles: peri/eps.
The plasticity value will be 0.0 for atoms not in the specified compute group.
Output info:
This compute calculates a per-atom vector, which can be accessed by any command that uses per-atom values from a compute as input. See Section_howto 15 for an overview of LAMMPS output options.
The per-atom vector values are unitlesss numbers (lambda) >= 0.0.
Restrictions:
This compute is part of the PERI package. It is only enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the Making LAMMPS section for more info.

compute damage, compute dilatation
Default: none
