Discontinuous molecular dynamics for rigid bodies: applications.
Event-driven molecular dynamics simulations are carried out on two rigid-body systems which differ in the symmetry of their molecular mass distributions. First, simulations of methane in which the molecules interact via discontinuous potentials are compared with simulations in which the molecules interact through standard continuous Lennard-Jones potentials. It is shown that under similar condi...
متن کاملconstant-temperature molecular dynamics simulations
We discuss the use of a Langevin equation with a colored (correlated) noise to perform constanttemperature molecular dynamics simulations. Since the equations of motion are linear in nature, it is easy to predict the response of a Hamiltonian system to such a thermostat and to tune at will the relaxation time of modes of different frequency. This allows one to optimize the time needed to therma...
متن کاملRigid multibody system dynamics with uncertain rigid bodies
This paper is devoted to the construction of a probabilistic model of uncertain rigid bodies for multibody system dynamics. We first construct a stochastic model of an uncertain rigid body by replacing the mass, the center of mass and the tensor of inertia by random variables. The prior probability distributions of the stochastic model are constructed using the maximum entropy principle under t...
متن کاملDiscontinuous molecular dynamics for semiflexible and rigid bodies.
A general framework for performing event-driven simulations of systems with semiflexible or rigid bodies interacting under impulsive forces is outlined. The method consists of specifying a means of computing the free evolution of constrained motion, evaluating the times at which interactions occur, and determining the consequences of interactions on subsequent motion. Algorithms for computing t...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics at constant temperature and pressure.
approved: enri J.F. Jansen Molecular dynamics is a technique in which the trajectories of a group of particles are calculated as a function of time by integrating the equations of motion. In this thesis we study the use of molecular dynamics for atoms in a crystal. A model is introduced which describes interactions of a physical system with an external heat reservoir in molecular dynamics simul...
