  1. The Monte Carlo dynamics of polymer chains in sandwich brushes: Rheologica Acta, Vol. 47, No. 5. (3 July 2008), pp. 565-569.Abstra ct  We designed and developed a simple model of polymer chains. The chains consist of identical united atoms (segments) and were restricted to a simple cubic lattice with the excluded volume interactions only (an athermal system).The polymers were confined between two parallel impenetrable walls with one end of each chain was grafted to the wall. A motion of a probe single linear chain in such environment was studied. The properties of the model studied were determined from the Monte Carlo simulations employing a Metropolis-lik e sampling algorithm with local changes of chains? conformation. The influence of the system density and the length of chains on the polymer mobility was studied and discussed. We found that the number of chains forming the brush was the major quantity which governed the dynamics of a probe chain, while the length of the chains in the brush also influenced the diffusivity of the probe chain. The diffusion coefficients scaled with the length of a probe chain is stronger than in the Rouse model with the exponent ??=??1.3.

  3. Conformation of Polymer Brushes under Shear: Chain Tilting and Stretching: Macromolecules , Vol. 29, No. 6. (11 March 1996), pp. 2289-2297.Abst ract: We have studied the conformation of a polymer brush in equilibrium with a solvent that is subject to a shear flow. The interplay between the polymer brush and the hydrodynamic flow of the solvent has been modeled, with simple but largely justifiable approximations . The main technique used in our study is a Monte-Carlo simulation algorithm that is distinct from many standard numerical methods used in studies of polymer brushes in that it combines an off-lattice description of polymer brushes-the Edwards Hamiltonian-wi th a modification of the standard Metropolis Monte-Carlo transition probability to take into account the effective force acting upon the polymer molecules by the moving solvent. The conformation of the polymer brush, the configurations of each individual chain in particular, is investigated in detail. It is found that the significant response of the brush to the solvent shear flow manifests principally in the form of the chain tilting toward and stretching along the direction of the flow, whereas the overall conformational properties, such as the averaged local monomer density, and the linear span of the brush in the direction normal to that of the flow remain essentially unaffected by the flow. Such response can be understood both qualitatively and semiquantitati vely in terms of a notion of the mechanical balance of the different physical forces involved, which was used in the theory of Rabin and Alexander (Rabin, Y.; Alexander, S. Europhys. Lett. 1990, 13, 49). The relevance of our study to some recent experiments is briefly discussed.

  5. Discrete Brush Tire Model for Calculating Tire Forces with Large Camber Angle: Vehicle System Dynamics, Vol. 25, No. 1 supp 1. (1996), pp. 200-216.In this paper one-dimensiona l discrete brush model is described. A new model contains twisting concept along a trajectory of tread base and explains the mechanism of moment around the vertical axis at large camber angles. Calculations are focused on tires for motor-cycles, since motor-cycles often use tires under the condition of large camber angles. The calculated results are compared with the experimental results and it is shown that the proposed model can be applied to the calculation of the moment around the vertical axis at large camber angles.

  7. A 3D Brush-type Dynamic Tire Friction Model: Vehicle System Dynamics, Vol. 42, No. 3. (2004), pp. 133-173.The use of advanced dynamic friction models can improve the brush-type tire friction models. This paper presents a 3D dynamic brush model based on the LuGre friction model. The model describes the dynamics of longitudinal and lateral tire friction forces, as well as the self aligning torque dynamics. It has been originally derived in a distributed-pa rameter form, and then transformed to a simpler lumped-paramet er form with only three internal states. Both uniform and non-uniform normal pressure distributions are considered. The model has analytical solution for steady-state conditions. The steady-state behavior is validated with respect to magic formula static model, which served as an ideal benchmark. The lumped model dynamic behavior is validated by comparing its time-responses with original distributed model responses. The model parameterizati on with respect to normal force and other tire/road parameters is considered as well.

  8. Pragmatic Tyre Model for Short Wavelength Side Slip Variations: Vehicle System Dynamics, Vol. 31, No. 2. (1999), pp. 65-94.The first-order relaxation length concept is often used to model transient tyre behaviour. It gives a rather good representation of the lateral force response, also at shorter wavelengths. The self aligning moment appears to behave rather differently and its responses cannot be represented by a relaxation length system only. Based on the analytical frequency response functions of the pneumatic trail of the brush type tyre model, a new pragmatic approach is developed. The model consists of a phase leading system in series with the first-order model for the lateral force. The results are compared to the responses of a discrete brush type simulation model. It appears that the aligning moment can be represented by this new pragmatic model very well.
