A great variety of models can describe the non-linear response of rubber to uni-axial tension. Yet an in-depth understanding of the successive stages of large extension is still lacking. We show that the response can be broken down in three…

Compressible Mooney-Rivlin theory has been used to model hyperelastic solids, such as rubber and porous polymers, and more recently for the modeling of soft tissues for biomedical tissues, undergoing large elastic deformations. We propose a…

We study what is clearly one of the most common modes of deformation found in nature, science and engineering, namely the large elastic bending of curved structures, as well as its inverse, unbending, which can be brought beyond complete…

We study large deformations of hyperelastic membranes using a purely two-dimensional formulation derived from basic balance principles within a modern geometric setting, ensuring a framework that is independent of an underlying…

The Mullins effect represents a softening phenomenon observed in rubber-like materials and soft biological tissues. It is usually accompanied by many other inelastic effects like for example residual strain and induced anisotropy. In spite…

The major challenge in determining a hyperelastic model for a given material is the choice of invariants and the selection how the strain energy function depends functionally on these invariants. Here we introduce a new data-driven…

In the emerging field of 3D bioprinting, cell damage due to large deformations is considered a main cause for cell death and loss of functionality inside the printed construct. Those deformations, in turn, strongly depend on the…

We demonstrate with experiments that wrinkling in stretched latex sheets occur over finite strains, and that their amplitudes grow and then decay to zero over a greater range of applied strains compared with linear elastic materials. The…

Highly compressible solids, such as foams, exhibit complex responses, including pronounced tension-compression asymmetry. Capturing such behaviors within unified hyperelastic frameworks remains challenging. Invariant-based hyperelastic…

The effects of thermal elastic fluctuations in rubber materials are examined. It is shown that, due to an interplay with the incompressibility constraint, these fluctuations qualitatively modify the large-deformation stress-strain relation,…

Hyperelastic materials possess the appealing property that they may be employed as elastic wave manipulation devices and cloaks by imposing pre-deformation. They provide an alternative to microstructured metamaterials and can be used in a…

Hyperelastic materials models are well established to describe the non-linear stress-strain relations of elastomers. In this paper, a polyurethane adhesive is considered as an exemplary material and subjected to tensile, compressive and…

Soft tissues are complex media, they display a wide range of mechanical properties such as anisotropy and non-linear stress-strain behaviour. They undergo large deformations and they exhibit a time-dependent mechanical behaviour, i.e. they…

In an attempt to describe cork-pulling, we model a cork as an incompressible rubber-like material and consider that it is subject to a helical shear deformation superimposed onto a shrink fit and a simple torsion. It turns out that this…

We investigate how two finite-amplitude, transverse, plane body waves may be superposed to propagate in a deformed hyperelastic incompressible solid. We find that the equations of motion reduce to a well-determined system of partial…

Complex elastic media such as biological membranes, in particular, blood vessels, may be described as fiber-reinforced solids in the framework of nonlinear hyperelasticity. Finite axially symmetric anti-plane shear displacements in such…

Implant placement under soft tissues operation is described. In this operation tissues can reach such deformations that nonlinear properties are appeared. A mass-spring model modification for modeling nonlinear tissue operation is…

Wrinkling is the phenomenon of out-of-plane deformation patterns in thin walled structures, as a result of a local compressive (internal) loads in combination with a large membrane stiffness and a small but non-zero bending stiffness.…

The effective macroscopic response of nonlinear elastomeric inhomogeneous materials is of great interest in many applications including nonlinear composite materials and soft biological tissues. The interest of the present work is…

A Finite Element model of the face soft tissue is proposed to simulate the morphological outcomes of maxillofacial surgery. Three modelling options are implemented: a linear elastic model with small and large deformation hypothesis, and an…
