“…The application to rubber is typical of the relevance of the approach in studying various material responses: [12][13][14][15][16][17] thermoelastic coupling, entropic coupling, thermoelastic inversion, the effect of reinforcement by fillers, strain-induced crystallization, and the Mullins effect. The 0D approach has been also applied to study the thermomechanical response of SMAs under cyclic loading, [7,[18][19][20][21][22] as well as polyamide 6.6, [23][24][25][26][27] aluminum alloy, [28] and steel. [29] However, a difficulty arises for the estimation of mechanical dissipation in the case of long-term cyclic tests: The results are easily skewed by any change in the specimen's environment, such as the ambient air, the grips of the testing machine, and more generally, all the components of the testing room.…”
