✦ Synopsis
Molecular Dynamics simulations of pure ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate have been carried out at different temperatures in the liquid phase. The all atom OPLS parameters are used to describe van der Waais interactions and the atomic charges are obtained from ab initio 6-31G** SCF calculations. For the flexible models, various force fields have been tested and cffgl has been chosen to describe intramolecular interactions. Thermodynamical and dynamical properties are reported and a reasonable agreement with the available experimental data is observed. Simulated structure of ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate at 323 and 473 K are compared with the experimental one determined at the same temperatures using X-ray diffraction experiment.

The cold rolling of ultra low carbon steel is a complex process involving the formation of texture and the development of residual stresses. The mechanism for both texture and residual stress development is dislocation multiplication. Both texture and residual stresses can be determined by means of
