Size and mechanics effects in surface-induced melting of nanoparticles.
Various melting-related phenomena (like surface melting, size dependence of melting temperature, melting of few nm-size particles and overheating at a very fast heating rate) are of great fundamental and applied interest, although the corresponding theory is still lacking. Here we develop an advanced phase-field theory of melting coupled to mechanics, which resolves numerous existing contradict...
متن کاملImpact of bond order loss on surface and nanosolid mechanics.
An analytical solution shows that a competition between bond order loss and the associated bond strength gain of the lower coordinated atoms near the edge of a surface dictates the mechanics of the surface and, hence, a nanosolid. Bond order loss lowers the activation energy for atomic dislocation, whereas bond strength gain enhances the energy density or mechanical strength in the region near ...
متن کاملMapping cardiac surface mechanics with structured light imaging.
Cardiovascular disease often manifests as a combination of pathological electrical and structural heart remodeling. The relationship between mechanics and electrophysiology is crucial to our understanding of mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias and the treatment of cardiac disease. While several technologies exist for describing whole heart electrophysiology, studies of cardiac mechanics are often...
متن کاملLiquid drops and surface tension with smoothed particle applied mechanics
Smoothed particle applied mechanics (SPAM), also referred to as smoothed particle hydrodynamics, is a Lagrangian particle method for the simulation of continuous flows. Here we apply it to the formation of a liquid drop, surrounded by its vapor, for a van der Waals (vdW) fluid in two dimensions. The cohesive pressure of the vdW equation of state gives rise to an attractive, central force betwee...
متن کاملWater surface tension modulates the swarming mechanics of Bacillus subtilis
Many Bacillus subtilis strains swarm, often forming colonies with tendrils on agar medium. It is known that B. subtilis swarming requires flagella and a biosurfactant, surfactin. In this study, we find that water surface tension plays a role in swarming dynamics. B. subtilis colonies were found to contain water, and when a low amount of surfactin is produced, the water surface tension of the co...
