Relaxation Behavior in Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Simple Polymers
Viscoelastic materials exhibit complex stress-strain behavior with respect to time, temperature and magnitude. Study of viscoelastic behavior by physical experimentation is very much limited by the cost and current capabilities of rheological equipment. Additionally, macroscopic relaxations often occur at time-scales that are impractical to study experimentally. For this reason, computer molecu...
متن کاملDynamics of Strongly Deformed Polymers in Solution
– Bead spring models for polymers in solution are nonlinear if either the finite extensibility of the polymer, excluded volume effects or hydrodynamic interactions between polymer segments are taken into account. For such models we use a powerful method for the determination of the complete relaxation spectrum of fluctuations at steady state. In general, the spectrum and modes differ significan...
متن کاملEllipsoidal Relaxation of Deformed Vesicles.
Theoretical analysis and experimental quantification on the ellipsoidal relaxation of vesicles are presented. The current work reveals the simplicity and universal aspects of this process. The Helfrich formula is shown to apply to the dynamic relaxation of moderate-to-high tension membranes, and a closed-form solution is derived which predicts the vesicle aspect ratio as a function of time. Sca...
متن کاملUnwinding relaxation dynamics of polymers.
The relaxation dynamics of a polymer wound around a fixed obstacle constitutes a fundamental instance of polymer with twist and torque, and it is also of relevance for DNA denaturation dynamics. We investigate it by simulations and Langevin equation analysis. The latter predicts a relaxation time scaling as a power of the polymer length times a logarithmic correction related to the equilibrium ...
متن کاملElectro-creasing instability in deformed polymers: experiment and theory†
Subjected to an electric field, a substrate-bonded polymer film develops a biaxial compressive stress parallel to the film. Once the electric field reaches a critical value, the initially flat surface of the polymer locally folds against itself to form a pattern of creases. We show that mechanical deformation of the polymer significantly affects the electro-creasing instability. Biaxially pre-s...
