The eight-chain model, also known as Arruda-Boyce model, is widely used to capture the rate-independent hyperelastic response of rubber-like materials. The parameters of this model are physically based and explained from micromechanics of chain molecules.

Creep and Fracture in Concrete: A Fractional Order Rate Approach [PDF]
The paper analyses the interaction between strain-softening and time-dependent behaviour in the case of quasi-static fracture of concrete. A viscous element based on a fractional order rate law is coupled with a micromecanical model for the fracture ...

Model‐reduction in micromechanics of polycrystalline materials [PDF]
AbstractThe present study is devoted to the generalization of the Nonuniform Transformation Field Analysis (NTFA), a model‐reduction approach introduced by the authors. First, the local fields of internal variables are decomposed on a reduced basis of modes.

Discrete modelling of capillary mechanisms in multi-phase granular media [PDF]
A numerical study of multi-phase granular materials based upon micro-mechanical modelling is proposed. Discrete element simulations are used to investigate capillary induced effects on the friction properties of a granular assembly in the pendular regime.

Electrically tunable collective response in a coupled micromechanical array [PDF]
We employ optical diffraction to study the mechanical properties of a grating array of suspended doubly clamped beams made of Au. The device allows application of electrostatic coupling between the beams that gives rise to formation of a band of normal ...

Multi-scale Modeling and Parameter Analysis of Cement-based Materials Based on Micromechanics [PDF]
[Objective] Current micromechanical models pay limited attention to parameter uncertainty and interactions, which makes it difficult for their response results to reflect the dispersed nature of the properties of cement-based materials.
