Charge–Fluctuation–Induced Non–analytic Bending Rigidity
In this Letter, we consider a neutral system of mobile positive and negative charges confined on the surface of curved films. This may be an appropriate model for: i) a highly charged membrane whose counterions are confined to a sheath near its surface; ii) a membrane composed of an equimolar mixture of anionic and cationic surfactants in aqueous solution. We find that the charge fluctuations c...
متن کاملConstitutive model for stretch-induced softening of the stress–stretch behavior of elastomeric materials
Elastomeric materials experience stretch-induced softening as evidenced by a pre-stretched material exhibiting a signi1cantly more compliant response than that of the virgin material. In this paper, we propose a fully three-dimensional constitutive model for the observed softening of the stress–strain behavior. The model adopts the Mullins and Tobin concept of an evolution in the underlying har...
متن کاملDetermination of the bending rigidity of graphene via electrostatic actuation of buckled membranes.
Classical continuum mechanics is used extensively to predict the properties of nanoscale materials such as graphene. The bending rigidity, κ, is an important parameter that is used, for example, to predict the performance of graphene nanoelectromechanical devices and also ripple formation. Despite its importance, there is a large spread in the theoretical predictions of κ for few-layer graphene...

متن کاملSequence dependence of DNA bending rigidity.
For many aspects of DNA-protein interaction, it is vital to know how DNA bending rigidity (or persistence length, a) depends on its sequence. We addressed this problem using the method based on cyclization of short DNA fragments, which allows very accurate determination of a. Our approach was based on assigning specific values of a to each of 10 distinct dinucleotide steps. We prepared DNA frag...
