On tube models of rubber elasticity: fitting performance in relation to sensitivity to the invariant I2
This study investigates the capability of micromechanical models of rubber elasticity to predict the deformation behaviour of soft materials under various modes of deformation. The free energy of individual chains is decomposed into a freely fluctuating chain contribution and a tube contribution rep...
