Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus of lipid bilayers in different phases

Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus of lipid bilayers in different phases

A general computational method is introduced to estimate the Poisson's ratio for membranes with small thickness.<br/>In this method, the Poisson's ratio is calculated by utilizing a rescaling of inter-particle distances<br/>in one lateral direction under periodic boundary condi...
