“…15,16 In general, the non-linear behavior of elastomeric materials is very complicated due to very high deformability, quasiincompressibility, stress-softening effect (Mullins effect), and time-dependent viscoelastic effects. [17][18][19] There are many structural factors that affect the mechanical behavior of elastomeric materials. It has been known that a cyclic loading of elastomers produces a unrecoverable hysteresis energy loss depending on the molecular nature of the elastomer.…”

Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPUe) fiber mats were successfully fabricated by electrospinning method. The TPUe fiber mats were subjected to a series of cycling tensile tests to determine the mechanical behavior. The electrospun TPUe fiber mats showed non-linear elastic and inelastic characteristics which may be due to slippage of crossed fiber (non-bonded or physical bonded structure) and breakage of the electrospun fibers at junctions (point-bonded or chemical bonding structure). The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images demonstrated that the point-bonded structures of fiber mats played an important role in the load-bearing component as determined in loading-unloading component tests, which can be considered to have a force of restitution.

“…However, subsequent experimental studies mainly focused on proportional loadings and the induced anisotropy was not investigated further for several decades. Only recently, several studies (Laraba-Abbes et al, 2003;Hanson et al, 2005;Diani et al, 2006;Itskov et al, 2006;Dargazany and Itskov, 2009;Machado, 2011;Merckel et al, 2012) brought to light Mullins softening induced anisotropy by application of successive non-proportional loadings.…”

is an open access repository that collects the work of Arts et Métiers ParisTech researchers and makes it freely available over the web where possible. Original constitutive modeling is proposed for filled rubber materials in order to capture the anisotropic softened behavior induced by general non-proportional pre-loading histories. The hyperelastic framework is grounded on a thorough analysis of cyclic experimental data. The strain energy density is based on a directional approach. The model leans on the strain amplification factor concept applied over material directions according to the Mullins softening evolution. In order to provide a model versatile that applies for a wide range of materials, the proposed framework does not require to postulate the mathematical forms of the elementary directional strain energy density and of the Mullins softening evolution rule. A computational procedure is defined to build both functions incrementally from experimental data obtained during cyclic uniaxial tensile tests. Successful comparisons between the model and the experiments demonstrate the model abilities. Moreover, the model is shown to accurately predict the non-proportional uniaxial stress-stretch responses for uniaxially and biaxially pre-stretched samples. Finally, the model is efficiently tested on several materials and proves to provide a quantitative estimate of the anisotropy induced by the Mullins softening for a wide range of filled rubbers.

“…Further refinements to account for deformation-induced anisotropy in Mullins effect were proposed in the literature. Indeed, as pointed out early by Mullins (1948) and more recently by Laraba-Abbes, Ienny, and Piques (2003), Diani, Brieu, and Gilormini (2006), Itskov, Haberstroh, Ehret, and Vohringer (2006), Itskov, Ehret, Kazakeviči utė -Makovska, and Weinhold (2010 and Machado, Chagnon, and Favier (2012), the material undergoes significant anisotropic softening due to the application of mechanical loading.…”

International audienceIn the present paper, experimental investigation and continuum mechanical modeling of Mullins effect in swollen elastomers, due to exposure to palm biodiesel, under cyclic loading conditions are addressed. To this end, the nature of Mullins effect in both dry and swollen elastomers is explored and compared. It is found that swelling reduces Mullins effect. Based on experimental observations, in order to account for swelling in the modeling of Mullins effect, two constitutive equations widely used in literature are considered and phenomenologically extended: Continuum Damage Mechanics model and Pseudo-Elastic model. The efficiency of the two extended models are assessed and perspectives for further development are drawn
