Polymer materials are multiscale systems by definition. Already the description of a single
macromolecule involves a multitude of scales, and cooperative processes in polymer …

Dense colloidal suspensions and related glass-forming fluids show pronounced nonlinear
(non-Newtonian) flow effects, since slow internal relaxation competes with the imposed …

The mechanical behavior of monolithic cementitious materials is known to be significantly
affected by their granular nature. This paper describes an approach to incorporate the …

Thermomechanics and granular micromechanics approaches are combined to derive
constitutive equations for modeling rate-dependent granular materials with damage and …

Determining the nature of the microscopic mechanism of tribological properties by
experimental methods for a polymer material surface/interface in the sliding friction process …

Repeated compression and dilation of a protein film adsorbed to an interface lead to
aggregation and entry of film fragments into the bulk. This is a major mechanism for protein …

This paper presents a Gibbs potential-based granular micromechanics approach capable of
modeling materialswith complete anisotropy. The deformation energy of each grain–pair …

Repeated application of vehicle loads on the asphalt pavement creates permanent
deformations and surface cracks. Simulation of this pavement distress has posed severe …

We present molecular-dynamics simulations for a fully flexible model of polymer melts with
different chain length N ranging from short oligomers (N= 4) to values near the entanglement …

Nanocomposite material composed of Bombyx mori Silk Fibroin and hydroxyapatite (B. mori
SF-HA) is a potential biomaterial for bone tissue engineering. Here, Bombyx mori Silk …
