Atomic investigation of many common phenomena can be included as interesting achievements. Using these achievements makes it possible to design promising structures for various actual applications. The current research describes the mechanical performance of Ag and Cu samples after welding at various initial pressures. For this purpose, the Molecular Dynamics (MD) approach is used via the LAMMPS package. Technically, MD simulations are done in 2 main steps. Firstly, the atomic stability of welded Ag-Cu samples is described at various initial conditions (initial pressure). Then, tension test settings are implemented in equilibrated systems. The MD outputs indicate that the physical stability of the welded samples was altered by changing the initial pressure between 1 and 10 bar. Simulation results predict that the mechanical resistance of atomic samples decreases by enlarging the initial pressure. Numerically, the ultimate strength of the Ag-Cu matrixes decreases from 1.424 MPa to 1.241 MPa by increasing the initial pressure from 1 bar to 10 bar, respectively. This mechanical performance arises from atomic disorder created inside samples. So, it is expected that initial condition changes affect the atomic evolution of welded metallic samples, and this phenomenon should be considered in the design of mechanical structures in industrial cases.
