Elastoplastic Stress-Strain Curves
Shown are typical polymer departures from elastic behavior that are often sources of failure modes.
Hyperelastic Material Fit to Yeoh 3-Constant Constitutive Equation
Typical Polymeric Short-Term Creep Behavior Fit to Bailey-Norton Creep Equation
Nonlinear Spatially Distributed Randomness
This is a form of chaos that can be a critical consideration in nonlinear analysis.
