Spatio-temporal structures in sheared polymer systems
Akira Furukawa, Akira Onuki
We investigate spatio-temporal structures in sheared polymer systems by solving a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model in two dimensions. (i) In polymer solutions above the coexist…
Sheared Solid Materials
Akira Onuki, Akira Furukawa, Akihiko Minam
We present a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau model of nonlinear elasticity in solid materials. We assume that the elastic energy density is a periodic function of the shear and tetr…
Solvation Effects in Near-Critical Binary Mixtures
Akira Onuki, Hikaru Kitamura
A Ginzburg-Landau theory is presented to investigate solvation effects in near-critical polar fluid binary mixtures. Concentration-dependence of the dielectric constant gives rise…
Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Heat-Conducting Near-Critical Fluids
Toshiyuki Hamanaka, Ryoichi Yamamoto, Akira Onuki
Using molecular dynamics simulations, we study supercritical fluids near the gas-liquid critical point under heat flow in two dimensions. We calculate the steady-state temperature…
Entanglements in Quiescent and Sheared Polymer Melts
Ryoichi Yamamoto, Akira Onuki
We visualize entanglements in polymer melts using molecular dynamics simulation. A bead at an entanglement interacts persistently for long times with the non-bonded beads (those ex…
