Stress Drops Associated with Surface Crack Formation in Photo-aged Polypropylene during Three-Point Bending
Kazuya Haremaki, Yusuke Koide, Takashi Uneyama +2
Using three-point bending, this study investigates surface-crack formation in photo-aged polypropylene (PP) that has a depth-dependent aging gradient. PP undergoes embrittlement un…
A Generalized Mechanical Model for the Cycle Rank Dependence of Stretch at Break in Phantom Chain Star Polymer Networks
Yuichi Masubuchi, Takato Ishida, Takashi Uneyama
A simple mechanical model was recently proposed to explain the universality of stretch at break (λ_b) as a function of cycle-rank density (ξ) in phantom-chain network simulations […
Statistics of rupture in phantom chain network simulations
Yuichi Masubuchi, Takato Ishida, Takashi Uneyama
Phantom chain simulations have shown that the mean rupture properties of star polymer networks collapse onto master curves against the cycle rank density . This study revisits t…
Relation between extensional viscosity and polymer conformation in dilute polymer solutions
Yusuke Koide, Takato Ishida, Takashi Uneyama +1
We investigate extensional viscosity and polymer conformation in dilute polymer solutions under uniaxial extensional flow using dissipative particle dynamics simulations. At high e…
A Review on Molecular Simulations for the Rupture of Polymer Networks
Yuichi Masubuchi, Takato Ishida, Yusuke Koide +1
Molecular simulations provide a powerful means to unravel the complex relationships between network architecture and the mechanical response of polymer networks, with a particular…
Influence of Stretching Boundary Conditions on Fracture in Phantom Star Polymer Networks: From Volume to Cross-sectional Area Conservation
Yuichi Masubuchi, Takato Ishida, Yusuke Koide +1
This study systematically investigates the effect of stretching boundary conditions, ranging from conservation of cross-sectional area to conservation of volume, on the rupture beh…
