Calculate force f(q) that resists sinusoidal deformation with wavenumber q Problem: If force on medium is exerted along a line, we obtain a logarithmically divergent compliance. If forces on medium are smeared over region of radius around chain, however, continuum mechanics yields Reason: Single chains can transmit forces along their backbones for distances of order Le Proposed cutoff length: h(s) Require self-consistency with the previous tube model calculation of G Self-consistent result for effective medium approximation vs. binary collision approximation Effective medium theory predicts a wider tube in the limit , and thus presumably yields the correct limiting behavior.
