AbstractMany proteins have been experimentally observed to exhibit a force-extension behavior with a characteristic repeating pattern of a nonlinear rise in force with imposed displacement to a peak, followed by a significant force drop upon reaching the peak (a “saw-tooth” profile) due to successive unfolding of modules during extension. This behavior is speculated to play a governing role in biological and mechanical functions of natural materials and biological networks composed of assemblies of such protein molecules. In this paper, a constitutive model for the finite deformation stress-strain behavior of crosslinked networks of modular macromolecules is developed. The force-extension behavior of the individual modular macromolecule is represented using the Freely Jointed Chain (FJC) statistical mechanics model together with a two-state theory to capture unfolding. The single molecule behavior is then incorporated into a formal continuum mechanics framework to construct a constitutive model. Simulations illustrate a relatively smooth “yield”-like stress-strain behavior of these materials due to activate unfolding in these microstructures.

Mechanics Of Composite Materials

Abstract Recent developments in nonlinear finite element methods (FEM) and mechanics of composite materials have made it possible to handle complex tire mechanics problems involving large deformations and moderate strains. The development of an accurate material model for cord/rubber composites is a necessary requirement for the application of these powerful finite element programs to practical problems but involves numerous complexities. Difficulties associated with the application of classical lamination theory to cord/rubber composites were reviewed. The complexity of the material characterization of cord/rubber composites by experimental means was also discussed. This complexity arises from the highly anisotropic properties of twisted cords and the nonlinear stress—strain behavior of the laminates. Micromechanics theories, which have been successfully applied to hard composites (i.e., graphite—epoxy) have been shown to be inadequate in predicting some of the properties of the calendered fabric ply material from the properties of the cord and rubber. Finite element models which include an interply rubber layer to account for the interlaminar shear have been shown to give a better representation of cord/rubber laminate behavior in tension and bending. The application of finite element analysis to more refined models of complex structures like tires, however, requires the development of a more realistic material model which would account for the nonlinear stress—strain properties of cord/rubber composites.
