On the basis of the pseudopotential plane-wave(PP-PW) method in combination with the local-density-functional theory(LDFT), complete stress-strain curves for the uniaxial loading and uniaxial deformation along the [001] and [111] directions, and the biaxial proportional extension along [010] and [001] of aluminium are obtained. During the uniaxial loading, certain general behaviors of energy versus stretch and the load versus the stretch are confirmed; in each acse, there exist three special unstressed structures: f.c.c., b.c.c. and f.c.t. for [001]; f.c.c., s.c. and b.c.c. for [111]. Using stability criteria, we find that all of these state are unstable, and always occur together with shear instability, except the natural f.c.c. structure. A Bain transformation from the stable f.c.c. structure to the stable b.c.c. configuration cannot be obtained by uniaxial compression along any equivalent [001] and [111] direction. The tensile strength are similar for the two directions. For the higher energy barrier of [111] direction, the compressive strength is greater than that for the [001] direction. With increase in the ratio of the biaxial proportional extension, the stress and tensile strength increase; however, the critical strain does not change significantly. Our results add to the existing ab initio database for use in fitting and testing interatomic potentials.
