Computational modeling is critical to medical device development and has grown in its utility for predicting device performance. Additionally, there is an increasing trend to use absorbable polymers for the manufacturing of medical devices. However, computational modeling of absorbable devices is hampered by a lack of appropriate constitutive models that capture their viscoelasticity and postyield behavior. The objective of this study was to develop a constitutive model that incorporated viscoplasticity for a common medical absorbable polymer. Microtensile bars of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) were studied experimentally to evaluate their monotonic, cyclic, unloading, and relaxation behavior as well as rate dependencies under physiological conditions. The data were then fit to a viscoplastic flow evolution network (FEN) constitutive model. PLLA exhibited rate-dependent stress–strain behavior with significant postyield softening and stress relaxation. The FEN model was able to capture these relevant mechanical behaviors well with high accuracy. In addition, the suitability of the FEN model for predicting the stress–strain behavior of PLLA medical devices was investigated using finite element (FE) simulations of nonstandard geometries. The nonstandard geometries chosen were representative of generic PLLA cardiovascular stent subunits. These finite element simulations demonstrated that modeling PLLA using the FEN constitutive relationship accurately reproduced the specimen’s force–displacement curve, and therefore, is a suitable relationship to use when simulating stress distribution in PLLA medical devices. This study demonstrates the utility of an advanced constitutive model that incorporates viscoplasticity for simulating PLLA mechanical behavior.

In this paper, some representative hyperelastic constitutive models of rubber materials were reviewed from the perspectives of molecular chain network statistical mechanics and continuum mechanics. Based on the advantages of existing models, an improved constitutive model was developed, and the stress–strain relationship was derived. Uniaxial tensile tests were performed on two types of filled tire compounds at different temperatures. The physical phenomena related to rubber deformation were analyzed, and the temperature dependence of the mechanical behavior of filled rubber in a larger deformation range (150% strain) was revealed from multiple angles. Based on the experimental data, the ability of several models to describe the stress–strain mechanical response of carbon black filled compound was studied, and the application limitations of some constitutive models were revealed. Combined with the experimental data, the ability of Yeoh model, Ogden model (n = 3), and improved eight-chain model to characterize the temperature dependence was studied, and the laws of temperature dependence of their parameters were revealed. By fitting the uniaxial tensile test data and comparing it with the Yeoh model, the improved eight-chain model was proved to have a better ability to predict the hyperelastic behavior of rubber materials under different deformation states. Finally, the improved eight-chain model was successfully applied to finite element analysis (FEA) and compared with the experimental data. It was found that the improved eight-chain model can accurately describe the stress–strain characteristics of filled rubber.

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.
