New paper in Polymers and Polymer Composites
We congratulate Vincent Dötschel on his first publication, “Studying the mechanical behavior of a generic thermoplastic by means of a fast coarse-grained molecular dynamics model.” This contribution presents the methodology and tools to generate and analyze molecular dynamics samples of an efficient generic thermoplastic model. In this first contribution, we focus on the neat polymer and introduce […]We congratulate Vincent Dötschel on his first publication, “Studying the mechanical behavior of a generic thermoplastic by means of a fast coarse-grained molecular dynamics model.” This contribution presents the methodology and tools to generate and analyze molecular dynamics samples of an efficient generic thermoplastic model.

Maxime Vassaux’ visit to Erlangen
From October 2 to 7, 2023, Dr. Maxime Vassaux from France visited the Capriccio group. Maxime is a CNRS Researcher at the Institute of Physics in Rennes and is planning to use the Capriccio method for multiscale FE-MD simulations of silica glass. During the week of his visit, we were able to take the first […]

Defense of Wuyang Zhao’s doctoral thesis
We are delighted to announce that Wuyang Zhao successfully defended his dissertation entitled “Multiscale modeling of the fracture behavior of glassy polymers across the atomistic and continuum scale” on August 29, 2023. In his thesis, he revisits the basics of continuum mechanics, atomistic simulations, and their coupling and thoroughly investigates the material behaviour of amorphous […]

Bachelor thesis: Annina Adams
We congratulate Annina Adams on the successful completion of her bachelor thesis titled “Advancing the Capriccio method: Parameter study with respect to load application”. In her thesis, Annina complemented a recent study of equilibration simulations of molecular dynamics samples under stochastic boundary conditions using the Capriccio method with respect to the sensitivity to the FE-MD […]

Dr.-Ing. Maximilian Ries
We are delighted to announce the graduation of Dr.-Ing. Maximilian Ries. In his thesis “Characterization and modeling of polymer nanocomposites across the scales,” Maximilian introduces a methodology to derive continuum mechanical models for polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) based on molecular dynamics. He thus combines the advantages of particle-based and continuum approaches. Furthermore, the obtained constitutive descriptions […]We are delighted to announce the graduation of Dr.-Ing.
