Mixing distributions within the quasi-Gaussian entropy theory: Multistate thermal equations of state valid for large temperature ranges
Article Abstract:
The quasi-Gaussian entropy theory is extended toward statistical mechanical models that describe the temperature dependence of thermodynamic properties of fluids at fixed density over a very large temperature range, upto 15 times the critical temperature. A general deviation of multistate thermal models for fluid systems is given on the basis of a physical partitioning of the system's phase space into multiple regions.

Introducing variable cell shape methods in field theory simulations of polymers
Article Abstract:
A new method for carrying out field-theoretic simulations of polymer systems under conditions of prescribed external stress, allowing for shape changes in the simulation box is proposed. The method allows fully relaxed, stress free configurations to be obtained even in nontrivial morphologies and enables the study of morphology transitions induced by external stresses.

Some recent theory, experiments, and simulations on rubberlike elasticity
Article Abstract:
The studies were conducted on rubberlike elasticity by the analysis of strain-induced crystallization, chain enlargements in networks. Several methods of simulations and reinforcement of elastomers are discussed.
