Visco-Hyperelastic Model Validation Data for Soft Elastomers

A constitutive model for soft materials integrates a nonaffine hyperelastic strain energy function with a nonlinear viscoelastic formulation. The model is validated against experimental data across a diverse range of soft matter, including vulcanized rubbers, hydrogels, silicone, block copolymer, and biological tissue. The dataset, authored by Nurul Hassan Shah and last updated in May 2026, is available under a CC-BY-NC-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Validate constitutive models for soft elastomers based on experimental data mentioned in the description
• Calibrate nonaffine micro-macro transition parameters based on high-stretch equibiaxial or pure shear data
• Compare model predictability between affine and nonaffine formulations for noisy experimental datasets
• Implement the invariant-based structure in Finite Element analysis for soft matter stability

Strengths

• Model validated against experimental data for five distinct soft matter types: vulcanized rubbers, hydrogels, silicone, block copolymer, and biological tissue
• Includes predictive analysis using smooth synthetic data to assess calibration constraints
• Dataset is 94.0 KB, facilitating quick download and inspection

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Last updated 2026-05-05 14:43:04; freshness should be verified
