Besides the well-known landmark models for the hyperelastic response of rubberlike
materials, many new hyperelastic constitutive models have emerged over the last decade …

The review describes recent research about reinforcement in elastomers where the main
intention is to gain insight into the relationship between disordered filler structure on different …

The present paper proposes a thorough comparison of twenty hyperelastic models for
rubber-like materials. The ability of these models to reproduce different types of loading …

The contribution presents a new micro-mechanically based network model for the
description of the elastic response of rubbery polymers at large strains and considers details …

Rubber-like materials consist of chain-like macromolecules that are more or less closely
connected to each other via entanglements or cross-links. As an idealisation, this particular …

Dozens of hyperelastic models have been formulated and have been extremely handy in
understanding the complex mechanical behavior of materials that exhibit hyperelastic …

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

This work presents a new phase field model for rate-independent crack propagation in
rubbery polymers at large strains and considers details of its numerical implementation. The …

The chapter considers the disordered nature of filler networks on different length scales and
relates it to the specific reinforcing properties of active fillers in elastomer composites. On …

Hyperelasticity is a common modeling approach to reproduce the nonlinear mechanical
behavior of rubber materials at finite deformations. It is not only employed for stand-alone …
