Rubber-like materials consist of chain-like macromolecules that are more or less closely
connected to each other via entanglements or cross-links. As an idealisation, this particular …

In this article we investigate several models contained in the literature in the case of near-
incompressibility based on invariants in terms of polyconvexity and coerciveness inequality …

Elastomeric materials are subjected to significant change in volume during their
deformation. This paper proposes to review the change in volume of stretched rubber and to …

Rubber-like materials can deform largely and nonlinearly upon loading, and they return to
the initial configuration when the load is removed. Such rubber elasticity is achieved due to …

To describe elastic material behavior the starting point is the isochoric-volumetric
decoupling of the strain energy function. The volumetric part is the central subject of this …

We compare some mixed methods based on different variational formulations, namely a
displacement-pressure formulation employed by de Borst and coworkers, the three-field …

In the present contribution we extend a previously proposed so‐called solid–shell concept
which incorporates only displacement degrees of freedom to the simulation of large elastic …

In this work, we present a mixed formulation based on the scaled boundary parameterization
for the analysis of nearly-incompressible hyperelastic materials at finite strains. The …

We propose a novel mixed displacement-pressure formulation based on an energy
functional that takes into account the relation between the pressure and the volumetric …

We propose a stabilization method for linear tetrahedral finite elements, suitable for the
implicit time integration of the equations of nearly and fully incompressible nonlinear …
