Chain Ends and the Ultimate Strength of Polyethylene Fibers
Thomas C. O'Connor, Mark O. Robbins
We use large scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to determine the tensile yield mechanism of orthorhombic polyethylene (PE) crystals with finite chains spanning c…

Contact area of rough spheres: Large scale simulations and simple scaling laws
Lars Pastewka, Mark O. Robbins
We use molecular simulations to study the nonadhesive and adhesive atomic-scale contact of rough spheres with radii ranging from nanometers to micrometers over more than ten orders…
