| Abstract |
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has attracted more attention due to its excellent elasticity and biomedical compatibility, can be applied in the design and manufacture of actuators, sensors and medical devices. In order to better simulate the tensile and compressive process of PDMS and obtain more accurate simulation results, multiple hyperelastic constitutive models based on PDMS materials were investigated. Firstly, according to the strain energy density function in the hyperelastic theory, engineering stress expressions for uniaxial deformation were derived in terms of Mooney–Rivlin with five parameters model and Yeoh model, as well as Mooney–Rivlin with two parameters model, Neo-Hookean model and Ogden model were all organized. PDMS samples were prepared with mixing ratio of 10:1 of base polymer and curing agent, dried at 60°C, and then we acquired the deformation values varying with tensile force and pressure. Afterwards, various material models were modelled with COMSOL Multiphysics, and the optimal material parameters of hyperelastic models for tensile, compressive, both tensile and compressive experimental data were analyzed, respectively. The results reveal that Mooney–Rivlin with five parameters models exhibit excellent fitting effect, with different material parameters for these three cases, as well as the determination coefficients of goodness of fit all greater than 0.99. Certainly, other hyperelastic models also have their own characteristics, Mooney–Rivlin with five parameters model especially has prominent advantage in simulating the stress-strain process of PDMS. In summary, the developed research findings provide valuable references into the accurate modeling of PDMS behavior, with practical significance for engineering application. |
