A Reptation Model for Magnetic Materials
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reptation, or accommodation, is manifested in ferromagnetic materials in a variety of operating regimes and hence must be incorporated in models used for comprehensive material characterization or model-based control design. Because the microscopic mechanisms which cause reptation are complex, we characterize the effect in a phenomenological macroscopic manner within the context of a homogenized energy framework for ferromagnetic hysteresis. Attributes of the model are illustrated through comparison with experimental data.

Cross-over from reptation to Rouse dynamics in a 1-dimensional model
A simple 1-dimensional model is constructed for polymer motion. It exhibits the cross-over from reptation to Rouse dynamics, through gradually allowing hernia creation and annihilation. The model is treated by the density matrix technique which permits an accurate finite-size-scaling analysis of the behavior of long polymers.
متن کاملShort Time Behavior in de Gennes’ Reptation Model
To establish a standard for the distinction of reptation from other modes of polymer diffusion, we analytically and numerically study the displacement of the central bead of a chain diffusing through an ordered obstacle array for times t , O sN2d. Our theory and simulations agree quantitatively and show that the second moment approaches the t1y4 power law (often viewed as a signature of reptati...
متن کاملNonequilibrium tube length fluctuations of entangled polymers
We investigate the nonequilibrium tube length fluctuations during the relaxation of an initially stretched, entangled polymer chain. The time-dependent variance σ 2 of the tube length follows in the early-time regime a simple universal power law σ 2 = A √ t originating in the diffusive motion of the polymer segments. The amplitude A is calculated analytically both from standard reptation theory...
متن کاملNonlinear Reptation in Molecular Based Hysteresis Models for Polymers
We extend the linear “stick-slip” models of Doi-Edwards and Johnson-Stacer to nonlinear tube reptation models. We then show that such models, when combined with probabilistic formulations allowing distributions of relaxation times, provide a good description of dynamic experiments with highly filled rubber in tensile deformations. A connection to other applications including dielectric polariza...
متن کاملTube Model for the Elasticity of Entangled Nematic Rubbers
Dense rubbery networks are highly entangled polymer systems, with significant topological restrictions for the mobility of neighbouring chains and crosslinks preventing the reptation constraint release. In a mean field approach, entanglements are treated within the famous reptation approach, since they effectively confine each individual chain in a tube-like geometry. We apply the classical ide...
