In this article we review the embedded atom method when adapted to study solid friction and the mechanical behavior of model metals.The method incorporates the e ect of electronic glue through e ective many-body potentials. The elastic properties of real metals are reproduced by a set of basic model poten- tials as revealed by analytic considerations.A slightly modi ed version of appropri- ate choice of parameters,the model is also applicable to study porous metals. for LaTeX users @article{MKroger2003-43, author = {M.
