We present a theory that successfully describes the time-dependent mechanical behavior of soft incompressible isotropic polymers in moderately large deformations. The theory is based on the introduction of a generalized measure of strain into the Boltzmann superposition integral.
A new four-parameter elastic potential function is proposed which represents data on the elastic deformation of rubbery materials with the same parameters in various deformation fields up to break.
Osculatory packing of a finite area by circles requires that any uncovered area or interstice be filled always with the largest possible non-overlapping circle. The strength of this requirement makes it possible to derive a general analytic expression that approximates closely to the distributions of radii calculated for various sets of boundary conditions.
