A Finite Element Implementation of a Coupled Diffusion-Deformation Theory for Elastomeric Gels

The theory of Chester and Anand (2011) for fluid diffusion and large deformations of elastomeric gels is implemented as a user-defined element (UEL) subroutine in the commercial finite element software package ABAQUS. A specialized form of the constitutive equations and the governing partial differe...
