...Leslee W. Brown; Lorenzo M. Smith A transversely isotropic fiber reinforced elastomer’s hyperelasticity is characterized using a series of constitutive tests (uniaxial tension, uniaxial compression, simple shear, and constrained compression test). A suitable transversely isotropic hyperelastic...

... and technology and are expected to bring important breakthroughs in various technological fields. Topics in this special issue include multiscale characterization of multiphase composites and polycrystalline solids, studies on reinforced elastomers, constitutive modeling of cellular materials, mechanics...

... were prepared and their dynamic mechanical properties, determined as the dynamic storage and loss moduli, were compared with those of neat polyurea elastomer. The purpose of this work is to investigate the effect of the fly ash volume fraction on the dynamic mechanical behavior of the composites...

... in fiber-reinforced elastomers. In particular, we show that the rotation of the fibers may lead to the softening of the overall stiffness of fiber-reinforced elastomers under certain loading conditions. Furthermore, we show that this geometric mechanism is intimately related to the development of long...

...Feixia Pan Elastomer foam materials are shock absorbers that have been extensively used in applications of electronic packaging. Finite element modeling simulation plays an important role in helping the designers determine the best elastomer foam material and the best structure of a shock absorber...
