Many soft tissues are naturally made of a matrix and fibres that present some privileged
directions. They are known to support large reversible deformations. The mechanical …

Fabric rubber composites have attracted great interests among researchers because of their
high specific strength and specific modulus. Developing accurate constitutive models is still …

Abstract In 1996, Alan Gent published a short paper that proposed the use of a very simple
two parameter phenomenological constitutive model for hyperelastic isotropic …

We review twelve invariant and dispersion-type anisotropic hyperelastic constitutive models
for soft biological tissues based on their fitting performance to various experimental data. To …

In this work, we present a novel anisotropic data-driven hyperelasticity framework for the
constitutive modeling of soft biological tissues that allows direct incorporation of …

Skeletal muscles, ligaments and tendons are typically assumed to be incompressible,
transversely isotropic, non-linearly hyperelastic materials. If one adopts the …

Nowadays, shape memory polymers (SMPs)-based devices are required to be much
smarter to produce large shape memory recovery and recovery force with lower working …

Many rubber-like materials and soft biological tissues exhibit a significant stiffening or
hardening in their stress-strain curves at large strains. The accurate modeling of this …

In this paper, an anisotropic hyper-viscoelastic constitutive model considering the
temperature effect for the reticulated fabric reinforced rubber composites is developed. First …

Transverse wrinkles commonly occur in a uniaxially tensile elastic membrane and can
vanish upon excess stretching. The wrinkling direction is usually perpendicular to the …
