The energies of strain-induced (elastic) interactions of pairs of substitutional atoms, and the host atom displacements around a substitutional atom, were calculated for Al, Ag, Au, Cu, Ni, Pd, Cr, -Fe, Mo, Nb, Ta, V, and W; while taking account of the discrete atomic structure of the host lattice. The elastic constants, the Born-von Karman constants of the host lattice, and the coefficients of the concentration expansion of the solid solution lattice due to substitutional atoms were the numerical parameters which were used. Computer calculations were performed in a general form which was suitable for treating any substitutional atom in these metals. The energies of the strain-induced interactions of substitutional atoms were of the same order as the so-called chemical interaction energy, and had to be taken into account during computer simulations of the structure and properties of substitutional solid solutions.
