Collective dynamics and shattering of disturbed two-dimensional Lennard-Jones crystals
Zhenwei Yao
Elucidating collective dynamics in crystalline systems is a common scientific question in multiple fields. In this work, by combination of high-precision numerical approach and ana…
Charged elastic rings: deformation and dynamics
Zhenwei Yao
We report the counter-intuitive instability of charged elastic rings, and the persistence of sinusoidal deformations in the lowest-energy configurations by the combination of high-…
Geometry and physics in the deformations of crystalline caps
Jingyuan Chen, Zhenwei Yao
Elucidating the interplay of stress and geometry is a fundamental scientific question arising in multiple fields. In this work, we investigate the geometric frustration of crystall…
Fast dynamics and emergent topological defects in long-range interacting particle systems
Zhenwei Yao
Long-range interacting systems exhibit unusual physical properties not shared by systems with short-range interactions. Understanding the dynamical and statistical effects of long-…
Ordering leads to multiple fast tracks in simulated collective escape of human crowds
Chen Cheng, Jinglai Li, Zhenwei Yao
Elucidating emergent regularities in intriguing crowd dynamics is a fundamental scientific problem arising in multiple fields. In this work, based on the social force model, we sim…
Dynamical effects of long-range interaction revealed in screened Coulomb interacting ring systems
Zhenwei Yao
Understanding the intriguing physical effects of long-range interactions is a common theme in a host of physical systems. In this work, based on the classical screened Coulomb inte…
