Effective length factor of a polymer in solution
If one wants to calculate the force needed to buckle a polymer in solution with Euler buckling, what would the effective length factor be? The polymer is free to move and rotate in solution as it sees ...

Deriving equations of motion of polymer chain with Hamilton's equations
This is related to a question about a simple model of a polymer chain that I have asked yesterday. I have a Hamiltonian that is given as:
$H = \sum\limits_{i=1}^N \frac{p_{\alpha_i}^2}{2m} + \frac{1}{...

Hamiltonian of polymer chain
I'm reading up on classical mechanics. In my book there is an example of a simple classical polymer model, which consists of N point particles that are connected by nearest neighbor harmonic ...
