Multiscale Modeling of Polymeric Materials

چکیده
Review of Project Objectives: Our overall objective for the three-year duration of this project is to design an adaptive, learning, simulation technique for polymers covering the range from atoms to coarsegrained chains, and apply the technique to the description of nanofilled polymers. Accomplishing this objective requires four activities, with the first two corresponding to the first two project years, and the second two to take place in the third project year.

Investigation of Vacancy Defects on the Young’s Modulus of Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Composites in Axial Direction via a Multiscale Modeling Approach
In this article, the influence of various vacancy defects on the Young’s modulus of carbon nanotube (CNT) - reinforcement polymer composite in the axial direction is investigated via a structural model in ANSYS software. Their high strength can be affected by the presence of defects in the nanotubes used as reinforcements in practical nanocomposites. Molecular structural mechanics (MSM)/finite ...
متن کاملNano tools for macro problems: multiscale molecular modeling of nanostructured polymer systems
A current challenge of physical, chemical, and engineering sciences is to develop theoretical tools for predicting structure and properties of complex materials from the knowledge of a few input parameters. In this work, we present a general multiscale molecular simulation protocol for predicting morphologies and properties of nanostructured polymer systems and we apply it to three examples of ...
متن کاملMultiscale Lagrangian Fluid Dynamics Simulation for Polymeric Fluid
We have developed a simulation technique of multiscale Lagrangian fluid dynamics to tackle hierarchical problems relating to historical dependency of polymeric fluid. We investigate flow dynamics of dilute polymeric fluid by using the multiscale simulation approach incorporating Lagrangian particle fluid dynamics technique (the modified smoothed particle hydrodynamics) with stochastic coarse-gr...
متن کاملComputational homogenization of fibrous piezoelectric materials
Flexible piezoelectric devices made of polymeric materials are widely used for microand nanoelectro-mechanical systems. In particular, numerous recent applications concern energy harvesting. Due to the importance of computational modeling to understand the influence that microscale geometry and constitutive variables exert on the macroscopic behavior, a numerical approach is developed here for ...
متن کاملAn Enhanced Macroscopic Closure Approximation to the Micro-Macro FENE Model for Polymeric Materials
We present an enhanced moment-closure approximation to the finiteextensiblenonlinear-elastic (FENE) models of polymeric fluids. This new moment-closure method involves the perturbation of the equilibrium probability distribution function (PDF), which takes into account of the drastic split into two spikes and centralized behavior under the large macroscopic flow effects. The resulting macroscop...
