Elasticity of strongly stretched ssDNA

Tkachenko, Alexei V. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 384 (2007) 1, pp. 133-136

We present a simple model which describes elastic response of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) to stretching, including the regime of very high force (up to 1000pN). ssDNA is modelled as a discrete persistent chain, whose ground state is a zigzag rather than a straight line configuration. This mimics...

On distribution of contact forces in random granular packings

Ngan, A.H.W. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 339 (2004) 3, pp. 207-227

In an earlier paper, Ngan (Phys. Rev. E 68 (2003) 011301) proposed a statistical mechanics-based theory to predict the mathematical form of the probability force distribution of contact forces in stressed granular packings. However, the wrong choice of the mean-force constraint in that work...

Wrinkling of plates coupled with soft elastic media

Groenewold, Jan - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 298 (2001) 1, pp. 32-45

If a rigid plate is subjected to stress and attached to a soft elastic medium, it is very likely that this stress is relieved by wrinkling: The plate buckles into a large number of waves. First the basic equation for wrinkling is rederived. Then the more complicated case of isotropic wrinkling...

Turbulent drag reduction in one and two dimensions

Odijk, Theo - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 298 (2001) 1, pp. 140-154

Drag reduction is investigated in one- and two-dimensional turbulent flows that are stationary and homogeneous. In the two-dimensional case, the polymer chains are deformed though advected passively through the Kraichnan cascades within a scaling analysis. The typical rate of shear must then be...
