Chiral effect in plane isotropic micropolar elasticity and its application to chiral lattices
In continuummechanics, the non-centrosymmetric micropolar theory is usually used to capture the chirality inherent in materials. However, when reduced to a two dimensional (2D) isotropic problem, the resulting model becomes non-chiral. Therefore, influence of the chiral effect cannot be properly characterized by existing theories for 2D chiral solids. To circumvent this difficulty, based on rei...
متن کاملPlane Waves with Negative Phase Velocity in Isotropic Chiral Mediums
The propagation of plane waves in an isotropic chiral medium (ICM) is investigated. Simple conditions are derived — in terms of the constitutive parameters of the ICM— for the phase velocity to be directed opposite to the direction of power flow. It is demonstrated that phase velocity and power flow may be oppositely directed provided that the magnetoelectric coupling is sufficiently strong.
متن کاملChiral three-dimensional isotropic lattices with negative Poisson’s ratio
Chiral three-dimensional isotropic cubic lattices with rigid cubical nodules and multiple deformable ribs are developed and analyzed via finite element analysis. The lattices exhibit geometry dependent Poisson’s ratio that can be tuned to negative values. Poisson’s ratio decreases from positive to negative values as the number of cells increases. Isotropy is obtained by adjustment of aspect rat...
متن کاملChiral elasticity of DNA
DNA has been described as a semiflexible polymer. But DNA is chiral, so its bending Hamiltonian contains nonlinear terms coupling the curvature κ to the torsion τ , leading to an average 〈τ〉 independent of κ, and variance 〈∆τ〉 scaling as 1/κ. We perform atomistic MD simulations of 31 base-pair DNA sequences with explicit solvent, in which “restraints” are imposed to “encourage” the DNA to bend....
متن کاملThird-rank piezoelectricity in isotropic chiral solids
The highest symmetry in which piezoelectricity was thought to occur is cubic. Here it is shown that third rank piezoelectricity can occur in isotropic chiral solids. Polarization is coupled via an isotropic third rank tensor to the antisymmetric part of the stress. Asymmetric stress can occur if balanced by moments distributed over area or volume. Such moments occur in heterogeneous solids in w...
