Hi everyone,

I am to determine eigenstrains from a given result. Anyone can guide me along?

Influence of substrate interaction and confinement on electric-field-induced transition in symmetric block-copolymer thin films

Submitted by Kumar Ankit on Mon, 03/21/2016 - 18:43

In the present work, we study morphologies arising due to competing substrate interaction, electric field, and confinement effects on a symmetric diblock copolymer. We employ a coarse-grained nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard phenomenological model taking into account the appropriate contributions of substrate interaction and electrostatic field. The proposed model couples the Ohta-Kawasaki functional with Maxwell equation of electrostatics, thus alleviating the need for any approximate solution used in previous studies.

LOOP ERROR IN MATLAB

Submitted by Zuhaib Nazir on Mon, 03/21/2016 - 00:03

Dear Researchers

Can you please make a correction in my Code of MATLAB

X1=[1,2,3,4]';

X2=[5,6,7,8]';

U1=[9,10,11,12]';

U2=[13,14,15,16]';

for i=1:1:4

EPS1(i,1)= U1(i,1)/X1(i,1);

EPS2(i,1)= U2(i,1)/X2(i,1);

EPS12(i,1)= 0.5*((U1(i,1)/X2(i,1))+(U2(i,1)/X1(i,1)));

defG(i)=[1+U1(i,1)/X1(i,1) 0+U1(i,1)/X2(i,1); 0+U2(i,1)/X1(i,1) 1+U2(i,1)/X2(i,1)];

Nanosculpt: A methodology for generating complex realistic configurations for atomistic simulations

Submitted by Arun Prakash on Sat, 03/19/2016 - 09:56

Atomistic simulations have now become commonplace in the study of the deformation and failure of materials. Increase in computing power in recent years has made large-scale simulations with billions, or even trillions, of atoms a possibility. Nevertheless, most simulations to-date, are still performed with quasi-2D geometries or rather simplistic 3D setups. Although controlled studies on such well-defined structures are often required to obtain quantitative information from atomistic simulations, for qualitative studies focusing on e.g. the identification of mechanisms, researchers would greatly benefit from a methodology that helps realize more realistic configurations. The ideal scenario would be a one-on-one reconstruction of experimentally observed structures. NanoSCULPT allows you to do precisely this for both crystalline and amorphous structures.
