Hello,
I work on mechanics of polymer since a few years and I recently decide to think about the better modelisation for my polymer. Actually I work on compressible elastomer (SEBS) wich exhibit hyteresis, strain rate dependance, Mullins effect. Usually Mullins effect is seen as a damageable phenomenom and is therefore related to volume variation. I am interested in the Bergström Boyce model because of the Mullins effect modelisation. I can use Ansys where the model is implemented (?) but I want to implement it by myself on Matlab. Do you have a reference where algorithm are detailed ? Another question, my polymer are anistropic (due to the manufacturing process), have you written a paper on this topic ?
I want also to apologize for my very bad english!
Thanks a lot for your response
Anne
