A C O N S T I T U T I V E MODEL IN FINITE VISCOELASTOPLASTICITY OF RUBBERY POLYMERS

Aleksey D. Drozdov Institute for Industrial Mathematics 22 Ha-Histadrut Street, Be'ersheba 84213, Israel

(Received 19 December 1997; accepted for print 9 November 1998) Introduction The paper is concerned with constitutive equations for the nonlinear response of incompressible rubbery polymers at isothermal loading. To derive the stress-strain relations, we employ a concept of nonaffine transient networks, where sliding of a network of long chains with respect to a bulk medium is described in the framework of finite elastoplasticity. The constitutive equations (developed with the use of the laws of thermodynamics) are applied to determine stresses in a specimen at uniaxial extension. A Model of Transient Networks A viscoelastic medium is modeled as a network of M kinds of long chains connected to junctions [6], where different kinds of chains correspond to different relaxation times. A chain whose ends are connected to separate junctions is treated as an active one. Snapping of an end of a chain from a junction is tantamount to its breakage. When a dangling chain captures a junction, a new active chain is created. Creation and annihilation of chains are characterized by the functions Am(t, T, ho) [the number of active chains of the ruth kind (per unit mass) arising before time r, existing at time t, and having the end-to-end vector ]to at the instant of their formation]. The distribution of initial end-to-end vectors is assumed to be independent of the reformation process,

am(t, ,,e)dVo(e) = "~m(t, , ) P {t~o • dVo(-~)},

(~)

where P is probability, dVo(2) is an elementary volume (in the space of long chains) in the vicinity of a vector z, and ~-,~(t, r) is the number of active chains of the ruth kind (per unit rnass) arising before time r and existing at time t. The quantity -~m(t, 0) equals the number of initial chains of the ruth kind existing at time t; the amount

Kinematics of a Nonafline Transient Network

Nlotiou of a I)ulk material induces so]n(' pseudo motion in the space of long chaius. Let. h(I) be the e n d q o end vector at time I for a chain created at time r with the initial end-to-eud vector ho. According to the affiniiy hypothesis [8] the deformation gradient ~7(T)h(t) in the space of long chains coincides with the deformation gradient V ( r ) ~ ( t ) in the bulk m a t e r i a l al. a poim with the radius vector /(~). We do not accept this hypothesis and assume t.he polymeric network to slide with respect to the bulk m e d i u m [3,7]. To describe the sliding, we introduce some unloaded configuration (which determines the stress-free state at time I for long chains created at time r) and suppose that the deformation gradient ~7(r)h(t) coincides wii.h the deformation gradient [br lransitiou from the unloaded to actual configuration

Referring to the model of random walk and neglecting the excluded volume effect [2], we trea~ the initial end-to-end vector h0 as a sum of N end-to-end vectors for individual segments. Assuming the segments to be statistically independent, we arrive at the Gaussian formula

where b is the inverse average end-to-end distance. It follows from Eq. (8) that h(t) = ho " ~7(7)]~(t) = ~-7(r)~tT(t). It 0. Combining this equality with Eq. (13) and the incompressibility condition dV(z) = dVo(z), we find the probability for a network of active chains of the ~7~th kind created within the interval It, r + dT] to have an end-to-end vector h located in the unil vicinity of a point 5

It follows from Eq. (23) that the Clausius-Duhem inequality (22) is fulfilled provided that. (i) the heat flux vector q obeys the Fourier law q(t) = -pA~g(t)O(t) with a nonnegative thermal diffusivity 1, (ii) the Cauchy stress tensor & obeys the constitutive equation a(t) =

where/3 is a nonnegative scalar function. Equation (24) is similar to the Lodge equation [~], (where the tensor fi differs from the conventional Finger tensor), whereas Eq. (25) appears to be novel. It determines the symmetrical part of the tensor L~(t, r). To avoid uncertainty. the skew-symmetrical part of L~ is assumed to vanish. Uniaxial E x t e n s i o n of a Specimen
