Entropic force in a dilute solution of real ring polymer chains with different topological structures in a slit of two parallel walls with mixed boundary conditions

The molecular dynamics simulations were used to obtain the radius of gyration of real ring polymer chains with different topological structures consisting of 360 monomers.We focus on the entropic force which is exerted by a dilute solution of ring polymer chains of different topological simply boho classroom structures with the excluded volume inte

Optimization of the matching relationship between the stemming length and minimum burden in cut blasting of large-diameter long-hole stopes

Abstract Cut blasting, in which new surfaces and relief space for subsequent blasting are created, is one of the most critical steps in the establishment of large-diameter long-hole (LDL) stopes.To reduce the damage to the chamber roof caused by stemming recoil and improve the rock breaking effect, 15 groups of small-scale model tests with minimum
