Rubbery polymers are modelled with hyperelastic constitutive laws by which the material can be stretched indefinitely or up to a certain locking stretch value. However, no material can sustain indefinite stretch and store infinite energy. Failure occurs after a threshold value for stress and/or energy is attained. Within this context, an approach for failure analysis of rubber–like materials based on the constitutive description of material is presented. The model is based on a hyperelastic material law representing the energy stored in rubber network due to the chain conformations connected in series to an interatomic bond potential representing the energy stored in the polymer chain due to the interatomic displacement. For the representation of the micro–macro transition in terms of non–affine kinematics, micro–sphere model is utilized. Morse potential is used for the description of the interatomic bond, which describes the energetic contribution to rubber–like materials and governs the failure of the polymer chain.

An affine microsphere approach to modeling strain-induced crystallization in rubbery polymers NATEGHİ, AREF; Dal, Hüsnü; Keip, M. -A.; MIEHE, CHRISTIAN (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-05-01) Upon stretching a natural rubber sample, polymer chains orient themselves in the direction of the applied load and form crystalline regions. When the sample is retracted, the original amorphous state of the network is restored. Due to crystallization, properties of rubber change considerably. The reinforcing effect of the crystallites stiffens the rubber and increases the crack growth resistance. It is of great importance to understand the mechanism leading to strain-induced crystallization. However, limite...
An atomistic study on the stretching of nanowires Mehrez, H; Ciraci, S; Fong, CY; Erkoç, Şakir (IOP Publishing, 1997-12-08) In this work we present an atomic-scale investigation of elastic and plastic deformation, and force variations in metal nanowires that are pulled from their ends. The atomic simulations are performed by using a molecular dynamics method with an empirical two-body potential; the effect of the initial size, shape, temperature and rate of stretching on the necking and fracture are investigated. We find that the necking occurs mainly due to the formation of a new layer with a smaller cross-section after every s...
A new formulation for the analysis of elastic layers bonded to rigid surfaces Pinarbasi, Seval; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Mengi, Yalcin (Elsevier BV, 2006-07-01) Elastic layers bonded to rigid surfaces have widely been used in many engineering applications. It is commonly accepted that while the bonded surfaces slightly influence the shear behavior of the layer, they can cause drastic changes on its compressive and bending behavior. Most of the earlier studies on this subject have been based on assumed displacement fields with assumed stress distributions, which usually lead to "average" solutions. These assumptions have somehow hindered the comprehensive study of s...
A new formulation for the analysis of bonded elastic layers Pınarbaşı, Seval; Akyüz, Uğurhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) Elastic layers bonded to reinforcing sheets are widely used in many engineering applications, e.g., as elastic foundations to machinery, as seismic isolators to structures, etc. Because of its practical importance, the behavior of bonded elastic layers under some basic deformation modes (e.g., compression, bending and shear modes) has attracted the attention of many researchers. However, the analytical works available in literature involve, with the object of obtaining design formulas, many simplifying assu...
A layerwise approach to piezo-electric plates accounting for adhesive flexibility and delaminated regions Erturk, CL; Tekinalp, Ozan (Elsevier BV, 2005-01-01) Multilayer plates with piezoelectric layers are modeled considering the deformation of the adhesive layers. Special finite elements, that use linear Lagrange and conforming Hermite type interpolation functions, are developed. The results of the formulation are compared with the other results presented in the literature. Since flexible bonding formulation is also suitable for modeling delamination, case studies containing partially delaminated PZT patches are presented. It is shown for a cantilever plate tha...
