Conformation-Mediated Kinetics of Polymer Chain Scission under Tension
Jie Zhu, Laurence Brassart
Chain scission is a key molecular process underlying damage and fracture in polymer networks. In this Letter, we develop a statistical-mechanical framework for predicting chain-sci…
Stretching Response of a Polymer Chain with Deformable Bonds
Jie Zhu, Laurence Brassart
The stretching response of polymer chains fundamentally determines the mechanical properties of polymer networks. In this Letter, we develop a statistical mechanics model that inco…
Effective transient behaviour of heterogeneous media in diffusion problems with a large contrast in the phase diffusivities
Laurence Brassart, Laurent Stainier
This paper presents a homogenisation-based constitutive model to describe the effective tran- sient diffusion behaviour in heterogeneous media in which there is a large contrast be…
Effective transient behaviour of inclusions in diffusion problems
Laurence Brassart, Laurent Stainier
This paper is concerned with the effective transport properties of heterogeneous media in which there is a high contrast between the phase diffusivities. In this case the transient…
