Optical diffraction of stretched lacunary spring networks
A network of randomly occupied sites connected by springs is submitted to an external stretch the optical diffraction pattem of the distorted network is experimentally and analytically studied. Some regions are just shifted as a whole and related shifts are measured by means of diffraction, some regions are uniformly distorted and this distortion is optically detected.
متن کاملChapter 6 . Criticality and Isostaticity in Fiber Networks
It has been known since Maxwell that collections of particles interacting via central forces only become rigid above the isostatic threshold, where the constraints and internal degrees of freedom just balance [1,2]. However, such networks can be stabilized below this threshold by additional interactions [3–5]. Here we elucidate the relative roles of bending versus central force interactions in ...
متن کاملStructural study of hinge bending in L-arabinose-binding protein.
The L-arabinose-binding protein of Escherichia coli is a periplasmic component of the bacterial L-arabinose transport system. The three-dimensional structure of the molecule has been determined by x-ray diffraction and shown to have two globular domains and a connecting hinge. Theoretical study of the flexibility of the hinge using computer simulation showed that the hinge is quite permissive i...
متن کاملEffective-medium theory of a filamentous triangular lattice.
We present an effective-medium theory that includes bending as well as stretching forces, and we use it to calculate the mechanical response of a diluted filamentous triangular lattice. In this lattice, bonds are central-force springs, and there are bending forces between neighboring bonds on the same filament. We investigate the diluted lattice in which each bond is present with a probability ...
متن کاملLocal atomic strain in ZnSe1ÀxTex from high real-space resolution neutron pair distribution function measurements
High real-space resolution atomic pair distribution functions ~PDF’s! have been obtained from ZnSe12xTex using neutron powder diffraction. Distinct Zn-Se and Zn-Te nearest-neighbor ~nn! bonds, differing in length by Dr50.14 Å, are resolved in the measured PDF’s, allowing the evolution with composition of the individual bond lengths to be studied. The local bond lengths change much more slowly w...
