Lecture 38 : Network with six-fold symmetry under stress
Net work with six-fold symmetry at non-zero temperature
So far we considered spring networks at zero temperature with all springs at identical length. In other word, the springs are in high tension relative to . With increase in temperature, however, the springs increasingly fluctuate in length. We can then estimate the probability of finding its extension between and from the Boltzmann’s relation,
