Many soft tissues are naturally made of a matrix and fibres that present some privileged
directions. They are known to support large reversible deformations. The mechanical …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) and SMP composites (SMPCs) have been widely
employed in several fields and exhibit excellent self-actuation, deformation, and self …

This monograph presents a general mathematical theory for biological growth. It provides
both a conceptual and a technical foundation for the understanding and analysis of …

It is a long-standing challenge to predict the general constitutive behaviors of soft elastomers
under finite deformation, since most of the constitutive relations calibrated from uniaxial …

In this Note, we propose a new hyperelastic model for rubber elastic solids applicable over
the entire range of deformations. The underlying stored-energy function is a linear …

Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) and their composite materials are stimuli-responsive
materials that have the unique characteristics of lightweight, large deformation, variable …

The forming of textile reinforcements is an important stage in the manufacturing of textile
composite parts with Liquid Composite Molding process. Fiber orientations and part …

A hyperelastic constitutive law is proposed to describe the mechanical behaviour of fibre
bundles of woven composite reinforcements. The objective of this model is to compute the …

Among the recent advances made in the analysis and simulation of the mechanical
behaviour of composite materials, calculations on a mesoscopic scale make it possible to …

In this paper, we study the interplay between macroscopic and microscopic instabilities in
3D periodic fiber reinforced composites undergoing large deformations. We employ the …
