Stiff Polymers, Foams and Fiber Networks
Claus Heussinger, Erwin Frey
We study the elasticity of fibrous materials composed of generalized stiff polymers. It is shown that in contrast to cellular foam-like structures affine strain fields are generica…
Dynamic correlation functions and Boltzmann Langevin approach for driven one dimensional lattice gas
P. Pierobon, A. Parmeggiani, F. von Oppen +1
We study the dynamics of the totally asymmetric exclusion process with open boundaries by phenomenological theories complemented by extensive Monte-Carlo simulations. Upon combinin…
Melting of Colloidal Molecular Crystals on Triangular Lattices
A. Sarlah, T. Franosch, E. Frey
The phase behavior of a two-dimensional colloidal system subject to a commensurate triangular potential is investigated. We consider the integer number of colloids in each potentia…
Propagation and Relaxation of Tension in Stiff Polymers
Oskar Hallatschek, Erwin Frey, Klaus Kroy
We present a unified theory for the longitudinal dynamic response of a stiff polymer in solution to various external perturbations (mechanical excitations, hydrodynamic flows, elec…
Overdamped Stress Relaxation in Buckled Rods
Oskar Hallatschek, Erwin Frey, Klaus Kroy
We present a comprehensive theoretical analysis of the stress relaxation in a multiply but weakly buckled incompressible rod in a viscous solvent. In the bulk two interesting regim…
Elasticity of Stiff Polymer Networks
Jan Wilhelm, Erwin Frey
We study the elasticity of a two-dimensional random network of rigid rods (``Mikado model''). The essential features incorporated into the model are the anisotropic elasticity of t…
