Nonlinear Viscoelasticity and Generalized Failure Criterion for Polymer Gels

Nonlinear Viscoelasticity and Generalized Failure Criterion for Polymer Gels

Polymer gels behave as soft viscoelastic solids and exhibit a generic nonlinear mechanical response characterized by pronounced stiffening prior to irreversible failure, most often through macroscopic fractures. Here, we describe this scenario for a model protein gel using an integral constitutive e...
