Congratulations Srikar!
Congratulations to now former graduate student Srikar Srivatsa for successfully defending his Masters thesis last week!
Modeling Polymer Chains
MMD lab graduate Michael Buche just published work started in his PhD thesis in Physical Review E. “Freely jointed chain models with extensible links” presents how to derive asymptotically correct analytical expressions for the force-stretch relationships for polymer chains with extensible bonds utilizing statistical thermodynamics. This work was co-authored with Prof Silberstein and fellow Cornell […]
Paper on modeling ionotronics out in JMPS
The design of functional and soft ionotronic devices has gained a considerable interest over the last decade, with applications ranging from sensing and energy harvesting to drug delivery. The coupled electrochemical and mechanical response of soft ionic polymers plays a pivotal role in the operation of many such devices and presents a significant challenge for […]
State Variable Modeling
Ever wonder how to conceptualize and formulate a continuum scale material model that captures the critical physics? Want to learn how really understand constitutive theory papers? Prof Silberstein will be teaching State Variable Modeling this fall. See the syllabus for more information.
