A comparison of limited-stretch models of rubber elasticity
S. R. Rickaby, N. H. Scott
In this paper we describe various limited-stretch models of nonlinear rubber elasticity, each dependent on only the first invariant of the left Cauchy-Green strain tensor and havin…
Multicyclic modelling of softening in biological tissue
Stephen R. Rickaby, Nigel H. Scott
In this paper we derive a model to describe the important inelastic features associated with the cyclic softening, often referred to as stress-softening, of soft biological tissue.…
Transversely isotropic cyclic stress-softening model for the Mullins effect
S. R. Rickaby, N. H. Scott
This paper models stress softening during cyclic loading and unloading of an elastomer. The paper begins by remodelling the primary loading curve to include a softening function an…
A cyclic stress softening model for the Mullins effect
S. R. Rickaby, N. H. Scott
In this paper the inelastic features of stress relaxation, hysteresis and residual strain are combined with the Arruda-Boyce eight-chain model of elasticity, in order to develop a…
Orthotropic cyclic stress-softening model for pure shear during repeated loading and unloading
S. R. Rickaby, N. H. Scott
We derive an orthotropic model to describe the cyclic stress-softening of a carbon-filled rubber vulcanizate through multiple stress-strain cycles with increasing values of the max…
On the complex singularities of the inverse Langevin function
S. R. Rickaby, N. H. Scott
We study the inverse Langevin function because of its importance in modelling limited-stretch elasticity where the stress and strain energy become infinite as…
