Defect screening and load transfer in minimal hard-soft double networks
Fucheng Tian, Feixue Lu, Katsuhiko Sato +3
Double network (DN) materials exhibit anomalous strength and toughness that far exceed the sum of their constituents. While widely exploited, the fundamental physical mechanisms un…
Entropy-Driven Preordering Assists Nucleation in Polyethylene
Renkuan Cao, Fan Peng, Yunhan Zhang +4
Non-classical two-step nucleation including preordering and crystal nucleation has been widely proposed to challenge the one-step nucleation framework in diverse materials, while w…
Shear banding in monodisperse polymer melt
Fan Peng, Renkuan Cao, Cui Nie +2
We performed a series of molecular dynamics simulations on monodisperse polymer melts to investigate the formation of shear banding. Under high shear rates, shear banding occurs, w…
Entanglement on nucleation barrier of polymer crystal
Fan Peng, Cui Nie, Tingyu Xu +4
We propose a theoretical approach to quantitatively account for the role of entanglement in the nucleation of polymer melts, which is the unique feature of polymer differentiated f…
Mixed displacement-pressure-phase field framework for finite strain fracture of nearly incompressible hyperelastic materials
Fucheng Tian, Jun Zeng, Mengnan Zhang +1
The favored phase field method (PFM) has encountered challenges in the finite strain fracture modeling of nearly or truly incompressible hyperelastic materials. We identified that…
Numerical calculation of free-energy barriers for entangled polymer nucleation
Xiaoliang Tang, Fucheng Tian, Tingyu Xu +2
The crystallisation of entangled polymers from their melt is investigated using computer simulation with a coarse-grained model. Using hybrid Monte Carlo simulations enables us to…
An adaptive edge-based smoothed finite element method (ES-FEM) for phase-field modeling of fractures at large deformations
Fucheng Tian, Xiaoliang Tang, Tingyu Xu +1
This work presents the Griffith-type phase-field formation at large deformation in the framework of adaptive edge-based smoothed finite element method (ES-FEM) for the first time.…
Local Structure Order Assisted Two-step Crystal Nucleation in Polyethylene
Xiaoliang Tang, Junsheng Yang, Tingyu Xu +3
Homogeneous nucleation process of polyethylene (PE) is studied with full-atom molecular dynamic simulation. To account the complex shape with low symmetry and the peculiar intra-ch…
