Slip-link simulations of long-fiber networks under uniaxial compression
Yuichi Masubuchi
A coarse-grained molecular simulation approach originally developed for entangled polymeric liquids is extended to model the mechanical behavior of long-fiber networks. The model,…
Developments in Multi-Chain Coarse-Grained Models for Entangled Polymer Dynamics
Yuichi Masubuchi
This review describes the development and applications of multi-chain coarse-grained simulations for entangled polymer dynamics. The mean-field tube model has long served as the st…
Universal Scaling of Macroscopic Softening and Microscopic Scission in Phantom Chain Networks
Yuichi Masubuchi
This study demonstrates that the apparent complexity of fracture in phantom-chain polymer networks is fully decoupled into two universal master curves: (i) macroscopic softening go…
A Toy Model for the Cycle Rank Dependence of Stretch at Break in Phantom Chain Network Simulations
Yuichi Masubuchi
The relationship between the topological architecture of polymer networks and their macroscopic rupture remains a fundamental challenge in polymer physics. Recent coarse-grained si…
