The mechanical properties of polymers are becoming increasingly important as they are
used in structural applications, both on their own and as matrix materials for composites. It …

This article presents a review of the current understanding of the mechanics of random fiber
networks. The discussion refers to athermal fiber networks, for which the governing …

One achievement we can be proud of is that the current edition, the sixth, has returned to the
place where this scientific event originated, and takes place in the year in which the …

In this paper, three types of triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) are utilized to create
novel polymeric cellular materials (CM). The TPMS architectures considered are Schwarz …

Gyroid is a member of the triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) family. In this paper, the
mechanical properties of Gyroid-structures are investigated both experimentally and …

The mechanical behavior of elastomeric materials is known to be rate-dependent and to
exhibit hysteresis upon cyclic loading. Although these features of the rubbery constitutive …

Highlighting a broad range multiscale modeling and methods for anticipating the
morphologies and the properties of interfaces and multiphase materials, this reference …

A combined experimental and analytical investigation has been performed to understand
the mechanical behavior of two amorphous polymers—polycarbonate and poly (methyl …

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) can retain a temporary shape after pre-deformation at an
elevated temperature and subsequent cooling to a lower temperature. When reheated, the …

The effects of strain rate and temperature on the inelastic response of a glassy polymer have
been studied. Deformation tests in uniaxial compression to strains of− 1.0 were conducted …
