SED in nonlinear elastic materials
I've been doing a research for my thesis, it about the application of the Strain Energy Density (SED) criterion for the fracture fixation, which is related to the biomechanics field of study.

Comparison of hyperelastic models for rubberlike materials
Dear all,
Infinity asked me for posting more information about one of our papers. It was published in 2006 in Rubber Chemistry and Technology and proposes a comparison and a ranking of 20 different hyperelastic constitutive models for rubber (from the Mooney model (1940) to the micro-sphere model (2004)) in the incompressible case.

Unloading prony series (soft tissue)
Hello All,
I am new here. I was searching for long time to find similar topics (see title) but nothing.
So, it may be good to ask here.
My question is:
Is it correct (for soft tissue) that prony series from relaxation test can be used to model "unloading" part of a cyclic test? If it is yes Why?
I thank you in advance
Best regards,
Sugeng
2nd International Conference on the Mechanics of Biomaterials & Tissues
The program for the 2nd International Conference on the Mechanics of Biomaterials & Tissues, to be held on the beautiful island of Kaua'i in December, is now available on the website at www.icmobt.elsevier.com. Network with your fellow researchers working in this exciting field by registering for this well-received meeting. Anybody registering before 26 October is eligible for a 10% discount off the full conference fee.
I look forward to seeing you in Lihue on December 9.

Body couples
Hi all,
We come across body loads such as gravitational, cenrifugal, magentic etc. Similary do we have body couples? If so, I request you to throw some light.
- Thanks & regards,
