Here we demonstrate the use of a previously reported pattern recognition algorithm to evaluate correlations between 50 different materials properties of the elements and their kinetics for the hydrogen evolution reaction in acid. We determined that the melting point and bulk modulus of the elements quantitatively gave the highest correlations of all materials properties investigated. We also sh...

Atomistic simulations are carried out for zeolite with ABW framework. The structure is modeled and force field simulations are preformed to investigate its elastic properties, bulk, shear modulus and auxeticity. Bulk moduli (Ks), Shear moduli (G), and Poissons ratios (ν) were found to be Ks=79.71725 GPa, G=16.93265 GPa, νxy = -0.2207, νxz= -0.5730, νyx= -0.71717, νyz=0.87013, νzx= -0.33097 and ...

Maximal airway narrowing during bronchoconstriction is greater in immature than in mature rabbits. At a given transpulmonary pressure (PL), the lung parenchyma surrounding the airway resists local deformation and provides a load that opposes airway smooth muscle shortening. We hypothesized that the force required to produce lung parenchymal deformation, quantified by the shear modulus, is lower...

The objective of this work is to develop a multiscale modeling tool of copolymers with long chains. We propose an enhanced coarse-graining method of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) with three beads. The proposed coarse-graining provides an accurate molecular modeling tool to keep the molecular interaction together with computational efficiency. The coarse-grained model with three beads is furt...

1. Abstract This paper discusses a topology optimization method for the design of acoustic metamaterials that exhibit negative bulk modulus, using level set-based boundary expression. The purpose of the optimization problem here is to find optimal configurations of acoustic metamaterial unit cells composed of rubber and epoxy that achieve a negative effective bulk modulus. The presence of grays...

Different equations of state (EOS) have been used to study pressure as a function of volume compressions at a given temperature. The critical test of EOS’ for solids under low compressions (<10GPa) by evaluating the pressure-volume derivative properties viz., isothermal bulk modulus and its pressure derivative calculated for BiFeO3. The elastic moduli such as bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’...

In this paper, we investigated the athermal pressure behavior of the structural and elastic properties of scheelite BaWO4 phase up to 7 GPa using the ab initio pseudo-potential method. The calculated lattice parameters pressure relation have been compared with the experimental values and found to be in good agreement with these results. Moreover, we present for the first time the investigation ...
