The Visual Perception of Elasticity
… to them. Observers saw two computer-generated bending rods (defined by the motions of 50 dots) on any given trial and were required to judge which rod was more flexible. Elasticity difference thresholds were calculated for each observer for each of three bending conditions. The rods bent in a …

Dynamics and structures of linear and supercoiled DNAs
… is developed for the Brownian dynamics of weakly bending rods with preaveraged hydrodynamic interactions. An expression is given for the mean squared angular displacement $$ of the $m\sp{th}$ bond-vector around the instantaneous x-axis (perpendicular to the end-to-end vector z). The normal mode …
