Application of visco-hyperelastic devices in structural response control
… structural frameworks assume prime importance. A visco-hyperelastic device is a completely new type of passive energy dissipation system that not only combines the energy dissipation properties of velocity and displacement dependent devices but also provides additional stability to the structure …

Development of deformable tire-pavement interaction: contact stresses and rolling resistance prediction under various driving conditions
… such as appropriate material characterization (hyperelastic and visco-hyperelastic), accurate geometry, and model validation using experimental measurements, were implemented. The experimental program provided information for validation (contact area, tire deflection, and contact …

Viscoelasticity of Articular Cartilage and Ligament: Constitutive Modeling and Experiments
… soft fibrous connective tissues with apparent viscoelastic behavior. An anisotropic visco-hyperelastic constitutive model for these tissues has been proposed in this study based on the short-term and long-term internal variables. The constitutive model was particularized for both tissues, …

Microstructurally-based constitutive models of cytoskeletal networks for simulation of the biomechanical response of biological cells
The elastic and viscoelastic stress-strain behavior of cytoskeletal networks, important to many cellular functions, is modeled via a microstructurally-informed continuum mechanics approach. The force-extension behavior of the individual filaments is captured with a new analytical expression of the …

Dynamical models, chemo-mechanical coupling and numerical recipes for some soft biological systems
… is reasonable to assume the lipid membrane as a visco-hyperelastic body that exhibit both in-plane fluidity and elasticity in which molecules migration and diffusion give rise to ordered lipid microdomains, rich of signaling proteins, named lipid rafts. These islands are characterized by high …
