The quality of this assumption depends on your particular chain. For example, a damped spring thermalizes on a timescale of order $\tau = 1/\gamma$ where the damping ratio $\gamma \equiv \omega_0(-\zeta \pm \sqrt{\zeta^2-1}$, the natural angular -frequency $omega_0 \equiv \sqrt{k/m}$, $\zeta \equiv b/2\sqrt{km}$, +frequency $\omega_0 \equiv \sqrt{k/m}$, $\zeta \equiv b/2\sqrt{km}$, and $b$ sets the drag $F_b = -bv$. For our cantilevers $\tau$ is on the order of milliseconds, which is longer than a timestep. However, the approximation is still reasonable, because there is -- 2.26.2
