On the statistical physics and thermodynamics of polymer networks: a Eulerian theory for entropic elasticity
Siyu Wang, Heng Xiao, Lin Zhan
This study presents a Eulerian theory to elucidate the molecular kinematics in polymer networks and their connection to continuum deformation, grounded in fundamental statistical p…

A statistical theory for polymer elasticity: from molecular kinematics to continuum behavior
Lin Zhan, Siyu Wang, Rui Xiao +2
Predicting the macroscopic mechanical behavior of polymeric materials from the micro-structural features has remained a challenge for decades. Existing theoretical models often fai…
