From the non-Gaussian model that has very recently been developed in the paper [I], new stress-strain equations have been derived. They have been examined in comparison with mechanical data taken from the literature for unswollen and swollen rubbers. It is found that the model can well explain the literature data.
A simple, useful model for an elastic network is developed in terms of finite chain extensibility and entanglement constraints. For the former, each chain that constitutes the network is treated as a specific non-Gaussian one and for the latter is confined within a tube that represents entanglement constraints. The model is built within the framework of the classical phantom network theory. In addition,...
