Coarse-Grained Lattice Modeling and Monte Carlo Simulations of Stress Relaxation in Strain-Induced Crystallization of Rubbers

Two-dimensional triangulated surface models for membranes and their three-dimensional (3D) extensions are proposed and studied to understand the strain-induced crystallization (SIC) of rubbers. It is well known that SIC is an origin of stress relaxation, which appears as a plateau in the intermediat...
