Numerical computations of breaking strains in uniaxially stressed perfect crystals of gold are carried out using rigorous estimation of the binding energy. The total energy of the metal consists of kinetic, exchange, and correlation energies alongwith the ion‐ion and electron‐ion interactions. The numerical values of the stress and strain confirm that both the theoretical and experimental values at failure are quite close to theoretically ultimate values.
