Abstract: This work covers the variational-based modeling of magneto-mechanical hysteresis effects in hard magnetic magneto-active polymers (MAPs). We discuss basic ingredients of the constitutive theory within the concept of generalized standard materials that necessitates suitable definitions… read more here.

Abstract: Synthetic slide-ring hydrogels display excellent mechanical properties, including high extensibility, low viscosity, high toughness, etc. Here, by considering molecular frictions induced by sliding of rings on polymer chains, we have developed a nonaffine constitutive theory… read more here.

Abstract: Elastomers at elevated temperatures can undergo microstructural changes owing to the scission, re-coiling, and re-crosslinking in their macromolecular network. These result in chemically based stress relaxation and permanent set. In previous work, a constitutive equation… read more here.
