Bulk Modulus Evaluation

Full-Atomistic Molecular Dynamics (FAMD) was used to evaluate volume (specific volume) changes of amorphous polyethylene under pressure variation. At temperatures of 150 K and 350 K, bulk modulus was estimated from pressure–specific volume graphs, and differences due to temperature were confirmed.
Use Cases Highlights
  • Evaluation of volume changes under pressure variation
  • Evaluation of bulk modulus from volume changes
  • Comparison of bulk modulus before and after glass transition temperature

Pressure–specific volume graphs

Change in specific volume (inverse density) of polyethylene amorphous structures with pressure at 150 K and 350 K is shown. Bulk moduli K = 3.77 GPa and 0.66 GPa are estimated, showing differences across the glass transition.
