.... In this paper, the microstructural components and mechanical behavior of Ti80 are first investigated experimentally. According to the experimental observations of the dual-phased microstructures, a mechanism and microstructure-based constitutive model of Ti80 is established to study the quantitative...

... increasing interest owing to their distinct properties; however, constitutive models to describe their shape memory mechanism are still lacking. In this paper, we propose a constitutive model for water-triggered shape memory hydrogels based on the transition between the sparse and dense phases. In the model...

... within the framework of a general structure tensor-based constitutive strain energy model. Our constitutive model considers fiber families’ distinct properties and the consequent inhomogeneous deformation in the skin, showing good agreement with in vivo measurements of human face skin.

... solvents. In this paper, to understand the fundamental mechanics of binary-solvent gels, we develop a constitutive model by formulating the free energy function based on the extended Flory–Huggins lattice theory and deriving the equilibrium equations. We then apply the model to examine the mechanical...
