Rubber is considered as a new material for making landing gear shock absorbers for new
energy electric aircraft. This investigation tested nitrile butadiene rubber blocks with different …

PVA hydrogels, as potential substitutes for soft biological tissues, are valuable in biomedical
applications. However, studies on mechanical behavior at 100-500/s are scarce, where the …

This study presents a peridynamic (PD) constitutive model for visco-hyperelastic materials
under homogenous deformation. The constitutive visco-hyperelastic model is developed in …

Open-cell elastomeric foams–materials consisting of an elastomeric matrix and a connected
pore space–exhibit mechanical behavior marked by high compressibility and strong …

Elastomeric foams display a nonlinear viscoelastic mechanical response, which is relevant
to impact protection applications. In this paper, we present a methodology for the …

In this work, a new visco-hyperelastic constitutive model is proposed to describe the rate-
dependent large deformation behaviour of an acrylic elastomer. The proposed model is …

Unfilled and carbon black filled natural rubber have attracted considerable attention and
have been extensively used as a novel construction material in civil infrastructure …

The present paper develops stress analysis of functionally graded hyperelastic thick
spherical shell subjected to internal and external pressure. Hyperelastic behavior is …

The V–W exponential hyperelastic model is adopted to describe the instantaneous elastic
response of the periodontal ligament (PDL). The general theoretical framework of …

Flexible polyurethane foam is widely used in numerous applications such as seats and
mattresses, due to its low stiffness and its ability to absorb deformation energy. The main …
