Chain breaking in the statistical mechanical constitutive theory of polymer networks
Michael R. Buche, Meredith N. Silberstein
Elastomers are used in a wide range of applications because of their large strain to failure, low density, and tailorable stiffness and toughness. The mechanical behavior of elasto…

Statistical mechanical constitutive theory of polymer networks: The inextricable links between distribution, behavior, and ensemble
Michael R. Buche, Meredith N. Silberstein
A fundamental theory is presented for the mechanical response of polymer networks undergoing large deformation which seamlessly integrates statistical mechanical principles with ma…
