Revisiting the minimum image locus method for calculating the radial distribution functions

Molecular dynamics simulation and experimental verification of the effects of vinyl silicone oil viscosity on the mechanical properties of silicone rubber foam

“…The radial distribution function (RDF) is the probability of nding other atoms at a distance r from the central atom. 45,46 It can also reect the characteristics of material microstructures and reveal the properties of interactions between nonbonded atoms. The RDF is calculated as follows: 47,48 g CÀD ðrÞ ¼ n D V 4pr 2 drN D (7) where As vinyl silicone oil viscosity increases, the SRF forms looser aggregates and a relatively large g(r) peak is observed.…”
