<p>The <em>mesocnt</em> angle style uses the potential</p>
<div class="math notranslate nohighlight">
\[\begin{split}E = K_\text{H} \Delta \theta^2, \qquad |\Delta \theta| &lt; \Delta
\theta_\text{B} \\
E = K_\text{H} \Delta \theta_\text{B}^2 +
K_\text{B} (\Delta \theta - \Delta \theta_\text{B}), \qquad |\Delta
\theta| \geq \Delta \theta_\text{B}\end{split}\]</div>
<p>where <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\Delta \theta = \theta - \pi\)</span> is the bending angle of the
nanotube, <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(K_\text{H}\)</span> and <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(K_\text{B}\)</span> are prefactors for
the harmonic and linear regime respectively and <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\Delta
\theta_\text{B}\)</span> is the buckling angle. Note that the usual 1/2 factor
for the harmonic potential is included in <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(K_\text{H}\)</span>.</p>
<p>The style implements parameterization presets of <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(K_\text{H}\)</span>,
<span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(K_\text{B}\)</span> and <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\Delta \theta_\text{B}\)</span> for mesoscopic
simulations of carbon nanotubes based on the atomistic simulations of
<a class="reference internal" href="#srivastava-2"><span class="std std-ref">(Srivastava)</span></a> and buckling considerations of
<a class="reference internal" href="#zhigilei1-1"><span class="std std-ref">(Zhigilei)</span></a>.</p>
<p>The following coefficients must be defined for each angle type via the
<a class="reference internal" href="angle_coeff.html"><span class="doc">angle_coeff</span></a> command as in the examples above, or
in the data file or restart files read by the <a class="reference internal" href="read_data.html"><span class="doc">read_data</span></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="read_restart.html"><span class="doc">read_restart</span></a> commands:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>mode = <em>buckling</em> or <em>harmonic</em></p></li>
<li><p>preset = <em>C</em> or <em>custom</em></p></li>
<li><p>additional parameters depending on preset</p></li>
</ul>
<p>If mode <em>harmonic</em> is chosen, the potential is simply harmonic and
does not switch to the linear term when the buckling angle is
reached. In <em>buckling</em> mode, the full piecewise potential is used.</p>
<p>Preset <em>C</em> is for carbon nanotubes, and the additional parameters are:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>chiral index <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(n\)</span> (unitless)</p></li>
<li><p>chiral index <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(m\)</span> (unitless)</p></li>
<li><p><span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(r_0\)</span> (distance)</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Here, <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(r_0\)</span> is the equilibrium distance of the bonds included in
the angle, see <a class="reference internal" href="bond_mesocnt.html"><span class="doc">bond_style mesocnt</span></a>.</p>
<p>In harmonic mode with preset <em>custom</em>, the additional parameter is:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(K_\text{H}\)</span> (energy)</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Hence, this setting is simply a wrapper for <a class="reference internal" href="bond_harmonic.html"><span class="doc">bond_style harmonic</span></a> with an equilibrium angle of 180 degrees.</p>
<p>In harmonic mode with preset <em>custom</em>, the additional parameters are:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(K_\text{H}\)</span> (energy)</p></li>
<li><p><span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(K_\text{B}\)</span> (energy)</p></li>
<li><p><span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\Delta \theta_\text{B}\)</span> (degrees)</p></li>
</ul>
<p><span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\Delta \theta_\text{B}\)</span> is specified in degrees, but LAMMPS
converts it to radians internally; hence <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(K_\text{H}\)</span> is
effectively energy per radian^2 and <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(K_\text{B}\)</span> is energy per
radian.</p>
<hr class="docutils" />
<p>In <em>buckling</em> mode, this angle style adds the <em>buckled</em> property to
all atoms in the simulation, which is an integer flag indicating
whether the bending angle at a given atom has exceeded <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\Delta
\theta_\text{B}\)</span>. It can be accessed as an atomic variable, e.g. for
custom dump commands, as <em>i_buckled</em>.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>If the initial state of the simulation contains buckled nanotubes
and <a class="reference internal" href="pair_mesocnt.html"><span class="doc">pair_style mesocnt</span></a> is used, the
<em>i_buckled</em> atomic variable needs to be initialized before the
pair_style is defined by doing a <em>run 0</em> command straight after the
angle_style command. See below for an example.</p>
</div>
<p>If CNTs are already buckled at the start of the simulation, this
script will correctly initialize <em>i_buckled</em>:</p>
