Nonlinear finite element analysis is widely used for structural optimization of the design and
the reliability analysis of complex elastomeric components. However, high-precision …

The rate-dependent behavior of filled natural rubber (NR) and high damping rubber (HDR)
is investigated in compression and shear regimes. In order to describe the viscosity-induced …

Rubber-like materials can deform largely and nonlinearly upon loading, and they return to
the initial configuration when the load is removed. Such rubber elasticity is achieved due to …

Rate-independent monotonic behavior of filled natural rubber and high damping rubber is
investigated in compression and shear regimes. Monotonic responses obtained from tests …

The eight-chain model, also known as Arruda-Boyce model, is widely used to capture the
rate-independent hyperelastic response of rubber-like materials. The parameters of this …

Purpose: This study thoroughly examined the application of inverse FE modelling and
indentation tensile tests to identify nanotubes' rubber material properties. indentation tensile …

For modeling the constitutive properties of viscoelastic solids in the context of small
deformations, the so-called three-parameter solid is often used. The differential equation …

Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die Modellierung von Aushärtungsprozesen stark vernetzter Polymere
wie zB Duroplaste. Dabei werden alle für die mechanische Modellierung relevanten Effekte …

A simple computational strategy for finite-element implementation of a finite-strain
viscohyperelasticity model for rubber-like materials was developed. The constitutive model …

In testing the mechanical behavior of rubbers, the incompressibility assumption is used to
predict the deformed cross section under loading and thereby to calculate the true stress …
