Stretching helical nano-springs at finite temperature
Using dynamic simulations and analytic methods, we study the elastic response of a helical filament subject to uniaxial tension over a wide range of bend and twist persistence length. A low-pitch helix at low temperatures exhibits a stretching instability and the force-extension curve consists of a sequence of spikes. At elevated temperature (i.e. small persistence lengths) the helix melts and ...
متن کاملApplication of Nano-Contact Mechanics Models in Manipulation of Biological Nano-Particle: FE Simulation
Contact mechanics is related to the deformation study of solids that meet each other at one or more points. The physical and mathematical formulation of the problem is established upon the mechanics of materials and continuum mechanics and focuses on computations involving bodies with different characteristics in static or dynamic contact. Contact mechanics gives essential information for the s...
متن کاملMultiscale mechanics of fibrin polymer: gel stretching with protein unfolding and loss of water.
Blood clots and thrombi consist primarily of a mesh of branched fibers made of the protein fibrin. We propose a molecular basis for the marked extensibility and negative compressibility of fibrin gels based on the structural and mechanical properties of clots at the network, fiber, and molecular levels. The force required to stretch a clot initially rises linearly and is accompanied by a dramat...
متن کاملStatistical Mechanics of Non-stretching Elastica in Three Dimensional Space
Recently I proposed a new calculation scheme of a partition function of an immersion object using path integral method and theory of soliton (J.Phys.A (1998) 31 Mar). I applied the scheme to problem of elastica in two-dimensional space and Willmore surface in three dimensional space. In this article, I will apply the scheme to elastica in three dimensional space as a more physical model in poly...
متن کاملComputational Nano-mechanics and Multi-scale Simulation
This article provides a review of the computational nanomechanics, from the ab initio methods to classical molecular dynamics simulations, and multitemporal and spatial scale simulations. The recent improvements and developments are briefly discussed. Their applications in nanomechanics and nanotubes are also summarized.
