Hyperelastic material

  1. Locally connected tensegrity structure shows multistable, tunable performance
    Locally-elastically-connected clustered tensegrity structure achieving multistability and tunable load-bearing performance via coupled cable mechanisms with variable stiffness design and 650%.
  2. Several hyperelastic models matched tensile behavior of a thermoplastic elastomer
    Study evaluates hyperelastic and viscoelastic models for polyurethane thermoplastic elastomer to optimise hot plate welding simulations, finding strain rate effects require viscoelastic formulation.
