Abstract
Using an elementary case study of stress-induced structural instability in a crystal we discuss how collective response to large-strain deformation at the atomic level can give insights into the mechanistic nature of shear localization. Stability criteria and reaction pathway sampling are used to probe saddle-point configurations, both local spatial coordinates and activation energy barriers, to optimally extract the information available from molecular dynamics simulations.
