Constitutive model of metal rubber material considering plastic accumulation behavior by FENG Zhipeng, YANG Fang, FU Hailong, AI Shigang, WANG Yue, YUAN Liangyang

“…;To thoroughly investigate this critical issue, the present study systematically examines the plastic behavior characteristics of 304 stainless steel-based metal rubber components throughout their entire lifecycle from formation to service. Building upon the memory recovery force model and based on the deformation mechanisms of metal rubber, a constitutive model is constructed considering three perspectives: work done to overcome elastic deformation, work done in plastic deformation, and energy dissipation through internal slip friction within the metal wire microstructure, aiming to precisely describe the energy dissipation process of metal rubber. …”
