Abstract The embedded atom method is adapted to study solid friction and the mechanical behavior of a model metal. The elastic properties of real metals are reproduced by a set of basic model potentials as revealed by analytic considerations. Non Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics NEMD computer simulations are performed to study the dynamics and structural changes of the model metal undergoing a process of solid friction and an uniaxial compression, in order to analyze, e.g. plastic yield and transient friction coefficients.
