Forces and dynamics

Having calculated the total energy of a solid, it should be feasible to calculate forces on the ions by simply taking the derivative of the total energy with respect to individual ionic positions. This type of calculation is indeed possible, and opens up a very broad field, that is, the study of the dynamics of atoms in the solid state. Here, by dynamics we refer to the behavior of ions as classical particles, obeying [Pg.194]

Newton s equations of motion, with the calculated forces at each instant in time. We discuss next the details of the calculation of forces in the context of DFT. First, we note that there are two contributions, one from the ion-ion interaction energy, and one from the ion-electron interaction energy. For the contribution from the ion-ion interaction energy, the derivative of defined in Eq. (5.69), with respect to [Pg.195]

In order to calculate the contribution from the ion-electron interaction, we first prove a very useful general theorem, known as the Hellmann-Feynman theorem. This theorem states that the force on an atom I at position R/ is given by [Pg.195]

This then proves the Hellmann-Feynman theorem, as stated in Eq. (5.92). [Pg.195]

The importance of the Hellmann-Feynman theorem is the following the only terms needed to calculate the contribution of ion-electron interactions to the force are those terms in the hamiltonian that depend explicitly on the atomic positions R. From our analysis of the various terms that contribute to the total energy, it is [Pg.195]


Breakup Criteria. Generally, droplet breakup in a flowing stream is governed by its surface tension and viscous forces, and dynamic pressure. For liquids of low viscosities, droplet breakup is primarily controlled by the aerodynamic force and surface tension force, and may begin when a critical condition, i.e., an equilibrium between these two forces, is attained ... [Pg.175]

As if this were a signal that some obstacle within you has been removed, the telepathic mind-waves of the Companions impact upon you with greater force and dynamism. In response to this new level of concerted consciousness, your aura flares, then expands to embrace and interpenetrate the aura-fields of the two Companions who flank you. Their auras, in turn, encompass and interpenetrate you. Then the three, embrace the six, who embrace the twelve, until all seated at the table enter into an energetic unity of at-one-ment. [Pg.161]

The bed void volume available for flow and for gas and liquid holdup is determined by the particle size distribution and shape, the particle porosity, and the packing effectiveness. The total voidage and the total liquid holdup can be divided into external and internal terms corresponding to interparticle (bed) and intraparticle (porosity) voidage. The external liquid holdup is further subdivided into static holdup eLs (holdup remaining after bed draining due to surface tension forces) and dynamic holdup eLrf. Additional expressions for the liquid holdup are the pore fillup Ft and the liquid saturation SL ... [Pg.59]

NR/modified EPDM, in which EPDM was modified by pendant sulfur, exhibited improved endurance to repeated stress over that of covulcanized EPDM-NR mbber blends (68). The effects of ethylene and diene contents in EPDM, blend ratio, dicumyl peroxide curing system on the physical properties, interfacial adhesion force, and dynamic crack growth were examined (69). As the ethylene and diene contents in EPDM increased, the physical properties, such as dynamic cut growth, adhesion to other component were also increased. The mechanical properties of the blends are compared to those of the pure components in Table 15.3 (56). The ultimate tensile strength of noncompatibilized blends is lower than that of pure NR, as expected since these blends are incompatible. [Pg.454]

Designing the Hull. Forces on a ship s hull may be divided into static (constant) forces and dynamic (variable) forces. There are two static forces the force of gravity pulling down on the ship and its contents and the upward force exerted by the water on the huU. [Pg.1262]

Creating physical models can be time-consuming and provide limited evaluation. By employing kinematic (branch of dynamics that deals with aspects of motion apart from considerations of mass and force) and dynamic analyses on a design within the computer, time is saved and often the result of the analysis is more useful than experimental results from physical prototypes. Physical prototyping often requires a great deal of manual work, not only to create the parts of the model, but to assemble them and apply the instrumentation needed as well. [Pg.369]

In the transparent interface method, the forces on each atom are derived from the gradient of the total potential energy in Eq. [71]. However, the constraint forces acting on quantum atoms at the boundary, due to the constaints imposed on the pseudoatoms, are neglected in this approach, leading to an approximation of the Hamiltonian equations that provides correct forces and dynamics (within the limit of a classical force field) but violates energy conservation. [Pg.350]
