Besides the well-known landmark models for the hyperelastic response of rubberlike
materials, many new hyperelastic constitutive models have emerged over the last decade …

Soft polymeric materials such as elastomers and hydrogels have played a significant role in
recent interdisciplinary research. They are subjected to large stretch and high cyclic loading …

The aim of research work is to characterize hyperelastic material and to determine a suitable
strain energy function (SEF) for an indigenously developed rubber to be used in flexible joint …

Abstract Dielectric Elastomer Generator (DEG) has been used to harvest energy from
reciprocating mechanical motion due to its variable capacitance under tension, and thus it …

The enormous size of polymer molecules causes their molecular motions to span a broad
range of length scales and give rise to viscoelastic behaviour. This rate-dependence of the …

Abstract The Geotechnical Seismic Isolation (GSI) is recently recommended as an
innovative base isolation system placed below the foundation of the superstructure for …

A novel viscous dissipation potential is proposed for the visco-hyperelastic constitutive
modeling of short-time memory responses of soft materials, which can capture both linear …

Contact pressure distribution over the active area of proton exchange membrane fuel cell
(PEMFC) has significant effects on the performance of PEMFCs. Even clamping pressure …

Surrogates, which precisely simulate nonlinear mechanical properties of the human skin at
different body sites, would be indispensable for biomechanical testing applications, such as …

This work presents a mathematical approach for the best way to structure hyperelastic
models applicable to incompressible rubber-like materials; and it describes a model …
