Fatigue fracture of tough hydrogels (2017, background): “In particular, the Mullins effect has been considered as the major factor to explain the softening of double network hydrogels over consecutive loading cycles [48-54], and has been attributed to progressive damage of the polymer networks [50, 55].”
A multiscale quasicontinuum method for dissipative lattice models and discrete networks (2014, methodology): “concrete and polymers, lattice models and discrete networks are often applied (Lilliu and Van Mier, 2003; Cusatis et al., 2003; Ostoja-Starzewski and Wang, 2006; Rinaldi et al., 2008; Kim and Buttlar, 2009; Zhao, 2012).”
A large deformation viscoelastic model for double-network hydrogels (2017, background): “…of the mechanical response of double-network hydrogels including Mullins-type effects have been reported in the literature (Wang and Hong, 2012; Zhao, 2012), to the best of our knowledge there is no published report on a constitutive model for the complex large deformation viscoelastic…”
