A constitutive model is proposed to describe the Mullins effect [1,2] in rubberlike materials,which is a stress-softening phenomenon during cyclic loadings.
Surface instabilities in bilayer systems composed of a thin hard film bonded to a thick soft substrate have been studied extensively in recent years both ex
Dielectric elastomers with compliant electrodes can be used to make electromechanical coupling devices such as actuators which can output deformation or for
