Enhanced reach of a rod injected into a cylindrical constraint by on-off injection and rotation
… a desktop scale analog for the injection of a thin rod into a horizontal pipe to service wellbores in the oil industry, we perform an experimental investigation of the effect of rotating a thin rod as it undergoes on-off injection into a cylindrical constraint. When a thin rod is injected into …

Analytical and Computational Studies of Lennard-Jones Thin Rods
Rod-like particles and structures are ubiquitous in nature and engineered systems. Examples include carbon nanotubes, nanowires, biological filaments, liquid crystal molecules, and colloidal cylinders. Understanding their interactions is crucial for predicting the behavior of these systems at …

Effects of particle shape and flexibility on suspension dynamics
… from linked, double-stranded DNA sequences or rods. To design functional nano-materials from these systems, it is important to predict the suspension properties for a given particle specification. We study this question theoretically, focusing on two classes of DNA particles; nano-stars and …

Statistical mechanical theory of structure and miscibility of polymer nanocomposites: Effects of density, filler shape, and chemical heterogeneity
… dimensionality is explored by comparing rod, disk, and cube shaped fillers. Nanoparticle interactions on several length scales are relevant in the depletion regime. The bound polymer layer present in the miscible and bridging regimes damps out order on these length scales in favor of …

Modeling Cable Harness Effects on Space Structures
… into three major classes consisting of thin rod models, semi-continuous models, and beam models. A shear beam model can predict natural frequencies, frequency response, and mode shapes for a cable if effective homogenous cable parameters are used as inputs. Thus, a method for determining …
