Structural properties of silicene nanoribbons have been investigated by performing classical molecular-dynamics simulations using atomistic many-body potential energy functions at low and room temperatures with finite and infinite lengths. It has been found that finite length models are more likely to form tubular structures at room temperature.

Structural properties of boron carbide nanoparticles: Application of a new set of Stillinger-Weber parameters Dugan, Nazim; Erkoç, Şakir (Elsevier BV, 2011-08-01) A suitable Stillinger-Weber (SW) potential energy function parameter set is developed for finite boron structures by genetic algorithm and trial error techniques. Boron structure geometries in 7-24 atoms range, calculated by ab initio methods, are taken as the fitting criteria in the parameter set development. This parameter set is used together with another SW parameter set developed for carbon-carbon interactions in order to investigate boron carbide nanoparticles in the form of BxCx where 8 <= x <= 14. I...
Numerical investigation of flow and scour around a vertical circular cylinder Baykal, Cüneyt; Fuhrman, D. R.; Jacobsen, N. G.; Fredsoe, J. (The Royal Society, 2015-01-28) Flow and scour around a vertical cylinder exposed to current are investigated by using a three-dimensional numerical model based on incompressible Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The model incorporates (i) k-omega turbulence closure, (ii) vortex-shedding processes, (iii) sediment transport (both bed and suspended load), as well as (iv) bed morphology. The influence of vortex shedding and suspended load on the scour are specifically investigated. For the selected geometry and flow conditions, it i...
Hermitian and gauge-covariant Hamiltonians for a particle in a magnetic field on cylindrical and spherical surfaces Shikakhwa, M. S.; Chair, N. (IOP Publishing, 2017-01-01) We construct the Hermitian Schrodinger Hamiltonian of spin-less particles and the gauge-covariant Pauli Hamiltonian of spin one-half particles in a magnetic field, which are confined to cylindrical and spherical surfaces. The approach does not require the use of involved differential-geometrical methods and is intuitive and physical, relying on the general requirements of Hermicity and gauge-covariance. The surfaces are embedded in the full three-dimensional space and confinement to the surfaces is achieved...
Singular potentials and moving boundaries in 3D Yuce, C (Elsevier BV, 2004-02-16) In this Letter, the problem of a spinless particle under the time-dependent harmonic oscillator potential and a singular potential with a moving boundary is studied in the spherical coordinates. Some transformations are used to transform the moving boundary conditions to the fixed boundary conditions. An exact solution is constructed.
Application of non-convex rate dependent gradient plasticity to the modeling and simulation of inelastic microstructure development and inhomogeneous material behavior Klusemann, Benjamin; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Geers, M. G. D.; Svendsen, Bob (Elsevier BV, 2013-12-01) In this study, a two-dimensional rate-dependent gradient crystal plasticity model for non-convex energetic hardening is formulated and applied to the simulation of inelastic microstructure formation. In particular, non-convex hardening is modeled via a Landau-Devonshire potential for self-hardening and two interaction-matrix-based forms for latent hardening. The algorithmic formulation and the numerical implementation treats the displacement and the glide-system slips as the primary field variables. The num...
