Discrete-symmetry-adapted Markov chain Monte Carlo for the electro-elasticity of polymers: chain taut, collapse, and order
Matthew Grasinger
Dielectric elastomers are promising for soft robotics and wearable electronics and sensors, but their use is hindered by the high electric fields required. Maximizing electromechan…

Multi-scale Modeling of the Electro-viscoelasticity of Charged Polymers in Combined Flow and Electric Fields
Zachary Wolfgram, Jeffrey G. Ethier, Matthew Grasinger
The behavior of polymers in combined flow and electric fields underlies many manufacturing processes but remains poorly understood. To address this, we model charged polymers acros…

Polymer networks which locally rotate to accommodate stresses, torques, and deformation
Matthew Grasinger
Polymer network models construct the constitutive relationships of a broader polymer network from the behavior of a single polymer chain (e.g. viscoelastic response to applied forc…
