The accuracy of the CSP approximation is, as test calculations for model. systems show, typically very similar to that of the TDSCF. The reason for this is that for atomic scale masses, the classical mean potentials are very similar to the quantum mechanical ones. CSP may deviate significantly from TDSCF in cases where, e.g., the dynamics is strongly influenced by classically forbidden regions of phase space. However, for simple tunneling cases it seems not hard to fix CSP, by running the classical trajectories slightly above the barrier. In any case, for typical systems the classical estimate for the mean potential functions works extremely well. 

Although, the notion of molecular dynamics was known in the early turn of the century, the first conscious effort in the use of computer for molecular dynamics simulation was made by Alder and Wainright, who in their paper [1] reported the application of molecular dynamics to realistic particle systems. Using hard spheres potential and fastest computers at the time, they were able to simulate systems of 32 to 108 atoms in 10 to 30 hours. Since the work of Alder and Wainright, interests in MD have increased tremendously, see... 

The first molecular dynamics simulation of a condensed phase system was performed by Alder and Wainwright in 1957 using a hard-sphere model [Alder and Wainwright 1957]. In this model, the spheres move at constant velocity in straight lines between collisions. All collisions are perfectly elastic and occur when the separation between the centres of...

Mesoscale simulations model a material as a collection of units, called beads. Each bead might represent a substructure, molecule, monomer, micelle, micro-crystalline domain, solid particle, or an arbitrary region of a fluid. Multiple beads might be connected, typically by a harmonic potential, in order to model a polymer. A simulation is then conducted in which there is an interaction potential between beads and sometimes dynamical equations of motion. This is very hard to do with extremely large molecular dynamics calculations because they would have to be very accurate to correctly reflect the small free energy differences between microstates. There are algorithms for determining an appropriate bead size from molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations. 

The noble gases are mostly unreactive. In some instances, they act mostly as a place holder to fill a cavity. For dynamical studies of the bulk gas phase or liquid-phase noble gases, hard-sphere or soft-sphere models work rather well. 

The performance of a magnet is characterized by a combination of B and For static appHcations at high B/]1 H, the (BH) value can be used. For dynamic appHcations, however, is less indicative, because it is hardly sensitive or even insensitive to improved values. In that case the... 

Many types of hardness tests have been devised. The most common in use are the static indentation tests, eg, Brinell, Rockwell, and Vickers. Dynamic hardness tests involve the elastic response or rebound of a dropped indenter, eg, Scleroscope (Table 1). The approximate relationships among the various hardness tests are given in Table 2. 

The more important grades of thermoplastic natural mbber, which fall into the olefinic class of thermoplastic elastomers, are prepared with the natural mbber phase partially cross-linked during blending, a process known as dynamic vulcanization. The hardness of the soft blends is controlled by the natural mbber content, and typical properties of those of 50—90 hardness (Shore A) are shown in Table 7. 

The excellent low temperature properties of FZ have been iadicated ia Table 1. Modulus curves were obtained usiag dynamic mechanical spectroscopy to compare several elastomer types at a constant 75 durometer hardness. These curves iadicate the low temperature flexibiUty of FZ is similar to fluorosihcone and ia great contrast to that of a fluorocarbon elastomer (vinyUdene fluoride copolymer) (Fig. 3) (15).

The production of the hard polymer/elastomer combinations is more simple. The two components are mixed together under conditions of intensive shear. In some cases, grafting may occur. In a variation of this technique, the elastomer can be cross-linked while the mixing is taking place, a process described as dynamic vulcanization (32). 

Electrochemical cells may be used in either active or passive modes, depending on whether or not a signal, typically a current or voltage, must be actively appHed to the cell in order to evoke an analytically usehil response. Electroanalytical techniques have also been divided into two broad categories, static and dynamic, depending on whether or not current dows in the external circuit (1). In the static case, the system is assumed to be at equilibrium. The term dynamic indicates that the system has been disturbed and is not at equilibrium when the measurement is made. These definitions are often inappropriate because active measurements can be made that hardly disturb the system and passive measurements can be made on systems that are far from equilibrium. The terms static and dynamic also imply some sort of artificial time constraints on the measurement. Active and passive are terms that nonelectrochemists seem to understand more readily than static and dynamic. 

Abrasion. When evaluating the possibility of installing a seal in a liquid that has entrained solids, several factors must be considered. Is the seal constructed in such a way that the dynamic motion of the seal will be restricted by fouling of the seal parts The seal arrangement that is usually preferred when abrasives are present is a flushed single inside type with a face combination of very hard material. Flowever, factors such as toxicity or corrosiveness of the material may dictate that other arrangements be used.
