Computational Modeling of Intelligent Soft Matter: Shape Memory Polymers and Hydrogels

by Majid Baniassadi, Yves Remond, Mostafa Baghani

Computational Modelling of Intelligent Soft Matter: Shape Memory Polymers and Hydrogels covers the multi-physics response of various smart polymer materials, such as temperature-sensitive shape memory polymers and temperature/light/chemo-sensitive hydrogels. Several thermo-chemo-mechanical constitutive models for these smart polymers are outlined, with their real-world applications highlighted. The numerical counterpart of each introduced constitutive model is also presented, thus empowering readers to solve practical problems requiring thermomechanical responses of these materials as well as design and analyze real-world structures made from them.
