Stretching a polymer (by hand)

Freely jointed chain model of a polymer. Attach on both sides to two big beads.

What you can do

  • Drag the moving bead from right to left and see the force displacement curve being drawn in real time.
  • Press "p" key to increase temperature and see the resulting curve variation
  • Press "m" key to decrease temperature and see the resulting curve variation

Note/Improvement

  1. Inertia far too big.
  2. No thermal noise applied on beads.
  3. The bead is constrained in y direction on purpose.
  4. Applet command list.
