Microscopic Theory of a Fluctuation-Induced Dynamical Crossover in Supercooled Liquids
Corentin C. L. Laudicina, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen, Grzegorz Szamel
Mean-field theories of the glass transition predict a phase transition to a dynamically arrested state, yet no such transition is observed in experiments or simulations of finite-d…
Molecular dynamics simulations reveal internal tension in native state collagen fibrils
Konstantinos Steiakakis, Alan Pichard, Maxime Vassaux
Collagen fibrils are the building block of many biological tissues, which viability depend on the fibrils properties. Altered properties of collagen fibrils are central to the appe…
Excluded volume geometry and packing fraction in binary convex hyperparticle mixtures
H. J. H. Brouwers
In this paper the excluded volume of binary similar hyperparticles with small size difference in D-dimensional Euclidean spaces R2, R3, and R4 is studied using two different statis…
A DNA-encoded recipe to direct multi-stage colloidal assembly
Pepijn G. Moerman, Chenghung Chou, Thomas E. Videbæk +2
In equilibrium self-assembly, microscopic building blocks spontaneously self-organize into stable structures as dictated by their interaction potentials, which limits the accessibl…
Thermodynamics of Hard Sphere and Spherocylinder Mixtures -- Scaled Particle Theory and Monte Carlo Simulations
Volodymyr Shmotolokha, Jonas Maier-Borst, Mark Vis +2
We review the literature on scaled particle theory (SPT) and its extensions and discuss results applied to describe the thermodynamics of hard particle mixtures. After explaining t…
Controllable Interlocking from Irregularity in Two-Phase Composites
Chelsea Fox, Kyrillos Bastawros, Tommaso Magrini +1
Natural materials often feature a combination of soft and stiff phases, arranged to achieve excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength and toughness. Many natural mater…
Random packing fraction of binary hyperspheres with small or large size difference: a geometric approach
H. J. H. Brouwers
The random packing fraction of binary particles in D-dimensional Euclidean space R^D is studied using a geometric approach. First, the binary packing fraction of assemblies with sm…
Hotter isn't faster for a melting RNA hairpin
Huaping Li, Ekrem Mert Bahçeci, Mehmet Sayar +1
We investigate the denaturation dynamics of nucleic acids through extensive molecular dynamics simulations of a coarse-grained RNA hairpin model. In apparent contradiction with Arr…
Harvesting Deformation Modes for Micromorphic Homogenization from Experiments on Mechanical Metamaterials
S. Maraghechi, O. Rokoš, R. H. J. Peerlings +2
A micromorphic computational homogenization framework has recently been developed to deal with materials showing long-range correlated interactions, i.e. displaying patterning mode…
3D Visualization Reveals the Cooling Rate Dependent Crystallization near a Wall in Dense Microgel Systems
M. P. M. Schelling, T. W. J. Verouden, T. C. M. Stevens +1
Controlled crystallization, melting and vitrification are important fundamental processes in nature and technology. However, the microscopic details of these fundamental phenomena…
Similarity Equivariant Graph Neural Networks for Homogenization of Metamaterials
Fleur Hendriks, Vlado Menkovski, Martin Doškář +2
Soft, porous mechanical metamaterials exhibit pattern transformations that may have important applications in soft robotics, sound reduction and biomedicine. To design these innova…
Controlled creation of point defects in 3D colloidal crystals
Max P. M. Schelling, Janne-Mieke Meijer
Crystal defects crucially influence the properties of crystalline materials and have been extensively studied. Even for the simplest type of defect - the point defect - however, ba…
Insights into elastic properties of coarse-grained DNA models: q-stiffness of cgDNA vs. cgDNA+
Wout Laeremans, Midas Segers, Aderik Voorspoels +2
Coarse-grained models have emerged as valuable tools to simulate long DNA molecules while maintaining computational efficiency. These models aim at preserving interactions among co…
Ductile-to-brittle transition and yielding in soft amorphous materials: perspectives and open questions
Thibaut Divoux, Elisabeth Agoritsas, Stefano Aime +37
Soft amorphous materials are viscoelastic solids ubiquitously found around us, from clays and cementitious pastes to emulsions and physical gels encountered in food or biomedical e…
Sol-gel transition by evaporation in porous media
Romane Le Dizès Castell, Leo Pel, Tinhinane Chekai +4
Historical monuments, outdoor stone sculptures and artworks made of porous materials are exposed to chemical and physical degradation over time. Presently, the most promising route…
Rejuvenation and memory effects in active glasses induced by thermal and active cycling
Giulia Janzen, Liesbeth M. C. Janssen
It has recently been shown that thermal active glasses can display physical aging behavior comparable to that of passive glasses, although there are some notable distinctions due t…
Coexistence of defect morphologies in three dimensional active nematics
Pasquale Digregorio, Cecilia Rorai, Ignacio Pagonabarraga +1
We establish how active stress globally affects the morphology of disclination lines of a three dimensional active nematic liquid crystal under chaotic flow. Thanks to a defect det…
A Comparative Study of Enriched Computational Homogenization Schemes Applied to Two-Dimensional Pattern-Transforming Elastomeric Mechanical Metamaterials
S. O. Sperling, T. Guo, R. H. J. Peerlings +3
Elastomeric mechanical metamaterials exhibit unconventional behaviour, emerging from their microstructures often deforming in a highly nonlinear and unstable manner. Such microstru…
