In this work, large deformation of incompressible, hyperelastic membranes based on the quasi-linear viscoelasticity (QLV) theory is formulated. Time integration algorithm and the expression for consistent fourth-order tangent tensor are presented. The formulation covers isotropic as well as anisotropic polymeric and biological materials. To solve numerical examples, a nonlinear finite element formulation in the Lagrangian framework is developed. Finally, several examples are provided to investigate the applicability of the present formulation. It is found that the numerical results are in good agreement with the analytical and experimental results available in the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
