Statics and dynamics of hairpins in worm-like main chain nematic polymer liquid crystals
2014 We derive some exact results for the statics of solitary defects (« hairpins ») in the conformations of nematic main chain worm-like polymer liquid crystals in which there is both a bending and a nematic contribution to the potential energy. It is shown that for a polymer of finite length in mechanical equilibrium there can exist only a finite number of hairpins and that these are all unst...
متن کاملElasticity of semiflexible polymers in two dimensions.
We study theoretically the entropic elasticity of a semiflexible polymer, such as DNA, confined to two dimensions. Using the worm-like-chain model we obtain an exact analytical expression for the partition function of the polymer pulled at one end with a constant force. The force-extension relation for the polymer is computed in the long chain limit in terms of Mathieu characteristic functions....
متن کاملModitication Factor for Sizing Equation of Electrical Machines-Single and Three Phase Induction Motors(RESEARCH NOTE)
Comparison between the results from the design procedure based upon the value of D2L (volume of iron) and IEC standard used by manufacturers indicates that the basic design equation of electrical machines must be modified by a proper modification factor. This modification factor is evaluated for single- and three-phase induction motors and its variation with motor rating and poles number is obt...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of worm-like polymers from a new generating function.
We present a mathematical approach to the worm-like chain model of semiflexible polymers. Our method is built on a novel generating function from which all the properties of the model can be derived. Moreover, this approach satisfies the local inextensibility constraint exactly. In this paper, we focus on the lowest order contribution to the generating function and derive explicit analytical ex...
متن کاملScattering and Gaussian Fluctuation Theory for Semiflexible Polymers
The worm-like chain is one of the best theoretical models of the semiflexible polymer. The structure factor, which can be obtained by scattering experiment, characterizes the density correlation in different length scales. In the present review, the numerical method to compute the static structure factor of the worm-like chain model and its general properties are demonstrated. Especially, the c...
