A stress softening, commonly known as the Mullins effect, is observed usually in filled rubberlike materials after the first load. Experimental observations have shown that the …
We propose a predictive model for the mechanical behavior of biodegradable polymers of interest for biomedical applications. Starting from a detailed description of the network …

The debate regarding the possible molecular origins of the Mullins effect has been ongoing since its discovery. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were carried out to elucidate the …
Biodegradable strain sensors able to undergo controlled degradation following implantation have recently received significant interest as novel approaches to detect pathological tissue …
The characterization of the mechanical response of semi-crystalline high-density polyethylene (HDPE) materials submitted to mixed mode oligo-cyclic tensile loading …
Many elastomeric materials exhibit the Mullins effect, or stretch-induced stress softening. However, early experiments show that the Mullins effect may be recovered after annealing …
