Development of Constitutive Models for Poro-Hyperelastic Materials

Abstract

This chapter is dedicated to the material modelling of polymers with a special focus on a transparent structural silicone adhesive. New material models are developed, which use the continuum mechanical basics presented in Chap. 2 and extend classical material models (see Chap. 3) to describe the structural behaviour of rubber-like materials especially under volumetric loading. Effects such as the cavitation effect, isochoric Mullins effect and effects under volumetric cyclic loading will be modelled with the developed material models.
