Rolling friction and bistability of rolling motion
Thorsten Poeschel, Thomas Schwager, Nikolai Brilliantov +1
The rolling motion of a rigid cylinder on an inclined flat viscous surface is investigated and the nonlinear resistance force against rolling, , is derived. For small veloc…
Adhesive interactions of viscoelastic spheres
Nikolai V. Brilliantov, Thorsten Poeschel
We develop an analytical theory of adhesive interaction of viscoelastic spheres in quasistatic approximation. Deformations and deformation rates are assumed to be small, which allo…
Collision of Adhesive Viscoelastic Particles
Nikolai V. Brilliantov, Thorsten Poeschel
The collision of convex bodies is considered for small impact velocity, when plastic deformation and fragmentation may be disregarded. In this regime the contact is governed by for…
Peptide size dependent active transport in the proteasome
Alexei Zaikin, Thorsten Poeschel
We investigate the transport of proteins inside the proteasome and propose an active transport mechanism based on a spatially asymmetric interaction potential of peptide chains. Th…
Rigid body dynamics of railway ballast
Thomas Schwager, Thorsten Poeschel
A method for the discrete particle simulation of of almost rigid, sharply edged frictional particles, such as railway ballast is proposed. In difference to Molecular Dynamics algor…
Complex Flow of Granular Material in a Rotating Cylinder
Thorsten Poeschel, Volkhard Buchholtz
The flow of granular material in a rotating cylinder was simulated by molecular dynamics in two dimensions using spherical as well as nonspherical grains. At very low but constant…
