Based on this, we then mechanically characterize the principal values of the stress tensor: They represent averages of the pressures created by the distributions of intermolecular forces inside material.
Simulation time has been dramatically reduced by an embedded "MD Engine(R)," a dedicated computation board for high-speed computation of nonbonded interactions such as coulomb force and intermolecular force that account for more than 99% in many cases of molecular dynamics simulation.
Most, if not all, of the friction between a tire and a typical and has nothing to do with attractive intermolecular forces between the tire rubber and the road material, says theoretical physicist Bo N.
