In spite of the growing body of evidence against it, the elasticity view of the phenomenon of
cavitation in elastomers continues to be utilized in numerous studies. In this context, the …

In a recent study, Kumar and Lopez-Pamies (J. Mech. Phys. Solids 150: 104359, 2021) have
provided a complete quantitative explanation of the famed poker-chip experiments of Gent …

Cavitation in rubber-like materials is commonly known as sudden void growth under
hydrostatic tension till material failure occurs. Experimental investigations of adhesives, eg …

This work deals with fracture of elastomers by cavitation. So, tension tests were achieved on
specific volumetric specimens, the shape of which should induce void nucleation in the bulk …

An overview of the causes and effects of porosity in rubber has been presented. The
formation of porosity in rubber can be attributed to the heterogeneous nucleation and …

In this paper we examine the change in material response, in particular the dilatational
response, due to cavitation damage arising from tensile hydrostatic stresses of sufficient …

In this work, we attempted to describe the evolution of damage in rubber-like materials due
to the Mullins effect and the cavity growth process. To this end we introduced two distinct …

The general aim of the present work is to improve the understanding about the elementary
material behaviour of flat bonded structural silicones in the façade area. Therefore …

This paper presents a seminumerical homogenization framework for porous hyperelastic
materials that is open for any hyperelastic microresponse. The conventional analytical …
