We survey, in a partial way, multi-scale approaches for the modelling of rubber-like and soft
tissues and compare them with classical macroscopic phenomenological models. Our aim is …

Modelling the viscoelastic behavior of rubber for use in component design remains a
challenge. Most of the literature does not consider the typical regimes encountered by anti …

Much effort is being directed at developing wearable devices because they offer the
potential combination of real‐time personal communication and convenient portability. In …

Ecoflex silicone rubbers, served as the polymeric components of flexible electronic devices,
actuators, energy converters, etc., are subjected to repetitive loadings during their service …

The composites of properties of ethylene‐propylene‐diene‐monomer (E) and acrylonitrile
butadiene‐rubber (N) composites of graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (G) …

The hysteresis observed in the mechanical response of filled rubbers is classically assumed
to be due to viscosity. In this study, a complete energy balance is carried out during cyclic …

Samples of skin, tendons, muscles, and knitwear composed of NiTi wire are studied by
uniaxial cyclic tension and stretching to rupture. The metal knitted mesh behaves similar to a …

Observations are reported on isotactic polypropylene in uniaxial cyclic tensile tests at room
temperature. A model is derived for the viscoplastic response of semicrystalline polymers at …

For the first time, phenolic formaldehyde resin (PF)-treated silica carbon black (SiCB) were
prepared with different treatment conditions and their effect as fillers on the mechanical …

Safe and compliant physical human-robot interaction (HRI) is a crucial consideration in
exoskeleton design. This paper presents a model for an elastomer-based series elastic …
