Brownian displacement: Random number generation • function ran1 (Bayes et Duham NR pp. 270-271) • I j+1 = I j (mod m) • generates uniform deviates (0, 1] • adjusts against low order correlations • function gasdev (Box-Mueller method NR pp. 279-280) • generates random deviates with standard normal distribution • Transformation p (x) = (22)-1/2 exp-[(x-<x>)2/22] • x = <x> + x’

Conclusions • The model predicts, as it is observed experimentally, the rupture force measured is an increasing function of the loading rate. • At high loading rate, the rupture force equal to the maximum force corresponding to the LJ potential. • At low loading rate, the thermal fluctuations take an important role in the detachment process.
