Deformation mechanisms of thermoplastic elastomers: Stress-strain behavior and constitutive modeling

This work addresses the large strain behaviors of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) spanning a range of fractions of hard and soft contents in both experiment and theoretical modeling. The key mechanical features involve a combination of elasticity and inelasticity, and are quantified experimentall...
