Capturing and fundamentally understanding the variation of a polymer's mechanical
properties with time, temperature, and hydrostatic pressure is essential for accurate …

The fracture criterion is a critical topic in fracture mechanics. However, the equality of J-
Integral (J) and energy release rate (G) has not been numerically verified under large strain …

Localizations of plastic deformation such as shear band and necking have been
investigated during past several decades. From experimental observations, microstructural …

This article reports an improved Taylor approximation of the Arruda-Boyce model. Aided by
recurrence relationships for the inverse Langevin function, this new expansion can be used …

Macroscopic mechanical properties of polymers are determined by their microscopic
molecular chain distribution. Due to randomness of these molecular chains, probability …

This paper reports a new insight on the principle of ultrasonic welding process. Physics of
ultrasonic welding process is considered to be an inverse process of shear band formation …

Hyperelastic models have been widely used to model polymers and soft tissues. However,
most hyperelastic models are phenomenological material models. Based on statistical …

This paper reports a theoretical and numerical framework to model nonlinear waves in
elastic-plastic solids. Formulated in the Eulerian frame, the governing equations employed …

The fracture criterion is a critical topic in fracture mechanics. However, the equality of J-
Integral (J) and energy release rate (G) has not been numerically verified under large strain …

Background: Excessive repetitions of the landing and jumping task are a key risk factor for
lower extremity injury (specially ACL) in female volleyball players. Aim: this study …
