A new micromechanically based approach for the elastic response of rubber-like materials at large strains. (English) Zbl 1354.74192
Summary: The approach models the elasticity of a rubber–like materials based on micro–structure that can be symbolized by a micro–sphere. The proposed model incorporates both non–affine deformation of unconstrained chains and superimposed constraint effects of tube–like topological formations in a consistent manner. Framework of the constitutive modeling and numerical examples illustrating the excellent predictive capacity of the model are presented.
