Buckling of a linear chain of hard spheres in a harmonic confining potential: Numerical and analytical results for low and high compression
(2020)We extend a previous analysis of the buckling properties of a linear chain of hard spheres between hard walls under transverse harmonic confinement. Two regimes are distinguished—low compression, for which the entire chain ... -
Description of the buckling of a chain of hard spheres in terms of Jacobi functions
(2022)A linear chain of hard spheres, confined by a transverse harmonic potential, buckles under compression between two hard walls. Jacobi functions provide exact analytic solutions of a differential equation (related to the ...
