Characterization of stress softening and self-healing in a double network hydrogel
In this paper, a micro-mechanically based constitutive model is presented to describe stress softening and self-healing in alginate-polyacrylamide (PAAm) double network (DN) hydrogels. The stress softening phenomenon in alginate-PAAm DN hydrogels under cyclical deformation is assumed to be the resul...
