Harnessing Ionic Complexity: A Modeling Approach for Hierarchical Ionic Circuit Design
Max Tepermeister, Meredith N. Silberstein
Since the 1950s, soft ionic devices have evolved from individual components to an expanding library of sensors, actuators, signal transmitters, and processors. However, integrating…
A foundational framework for the mesoscale modeling of dynamic elastomers and gels
Robert J. Wagner, Meredith N. Silberstein
Discrete mesoscale network models, in which explicitly modeled polymer chains are replaced by implicit pairwise potentials, are capable of predicting the macroscale mechanical resp…
Elucidating the impact of microstructure on mechanical properties of phase-segregated polyurea: Finite element modeling of molecular dynamics derived microstructures
Steven J. Yang, Stephanie I. Rosenbloom, Brett P. Fors +1
Phase-segregated polyureas (PU) have received considerable interest due to their use as tough, impact-resistant coatings. Polyureas are favored for these applications due to their…
A constitutive model for elastomers tailored by ionic bonds and entanglements
Zhongtong Wang, Hongyi Cai, Meredith N. Silberstein
Over the past decade or two, the concept has emerged of using multiple types of weak interactions simultaneously to enhance the mechanical properties of elastomers. These weak inte…
Modeling coupled electrochemical and mechanical behavior of soft ionic materials and ionotronic devices
Nikola Bosnjak, Max Tepermeister, Meredith Silberstein
Recently there has been an increase in demand for soft and biocompatible electronic devices capable of withstanding large stretch. Ionically conductive polymers present a promising…
Freely jointed chain models with extensible links
Michael R. Buche, Meredith N. Silberstein, Scott J. Grutzik
Analytical relations for the mechanical response of single polymer chains are valuable for modeling purposes, on both the molecular and the continuum scale. These relations can be…
Examining the Impact of Asymmetry in Lattice-Based Mechanical Metamaterials
Srikar Srivatsa, Roshan Suresh Kumar, Daniel Selva +1
Lattice-based mechanical metamaterials can be tailored for a wide variety of applications by modifying the underlying mesostructure. However, most existing lattice patterns take sy…
Chain breaking in the statistical mechanical constitutive theory of polymer networks
Michael R. Buche, Meredith N. Silberstein
Elastomers are used in a wide range of applications because of their large strain to failure, low density, and tailorable stiffness and toughness. The mechanical behavior of elasto…
Statistical mechanical constitutive theory of polymer networks: The inextricable links between distribution, behavior, and ensemble
Michael R. Buche, Meredith N. Silberstein
A fundamental theory is presented for the mechanical response of polymer networks undergoing large deformation which seamlessly integrates statistical mechanical principles with ma…
