TL;DR: In this article, the effects of fiber properties and yarn structure on yarn bending rigidity were analyzed under the assumption that the fibers are elastically isotropic and exhibit linear stress.
Abstract: Theoretical analyses are given of the effects of fiber properties and yarn structure on singles yarn bending rigidity, assuming the fibers to be elastically isotropic and to exhibit linear stress—s...

TL;DR: These results confirm that longitudinal Young's modulus of microtubules is length-independent, and the observed length-dependence of the flexural rigidity and Young’s modulus is a result of strongly anisotropic elastic properties of micro Tubules which have a length-dependent weakening effect on flexural Rigidity of shorter microtubule.

TL;DR: A simple molecular mechanics force field for graphene was created by force matching the density functional theory Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof forces using the adaptive force matching method recently developed in the group.
Abstract: A simple molecular mechanics force field for graphene (PPBE-G) was created by force matching the density functional theory Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof forces using the adaptive force matching method recently developed in our group. The PPBE-G potential was found to provide significantly more accurate forces than other existing force fields. Several properties of graphene, such as Young's modulus, bending rigidity, and thermal conductivity, have been studied with our potential. The calculated properties are in good agreement with corresponding density functional theory and experimental values. The thermal conductivity calculated with reverse non-equilibrium molecular dynamics depends sensitively on graphene size thus requiring the simulation of large sheets for convergence. Since the PPBE-G potential only contains simple additive energy expressions, it is very computationally efficient and is capable of modeling large graphene sheets in the μm length scale.
