Natural rubber (NR) is known to crystallize under strain (SIC) so that NR samples subjected to loading-unloading cycles exhibit hysteresis. A brief review of the numerous experiments conducted on this material is given. Detailed information on the microstructure is therefore available, particularly simultaneous measurements of stress versus elongation and

Hi all,

I am currently working on mooney-rivlin materials. I wonder if someone have tried to compute GI, GII and GIII with the EDI because I don't understand how to compute WIII with mooney-rivlin.

Thanks a lot

Hi all,

I am currently working on Virtual crack closure technique. I met some problems with the local crack-front coordinate system. I wonder if i can find a detailed explanation on the coding of the local crack-front coordinate sytem.

Thanks a lot
