Multiscale Considerations in Modeling of Nonlinear Elastomers

Abstract

We present a survey of results from an extended project focused on the understanding of the dynamic behavior of elastomers or filled rubbers. This entailed experimental, modeling, computational and theoretical efforts. Of particular emphasis are the nonlinear and hysteretic aspects of dynamic deformations.
