1. What are the contributions in "A review on the mullins effect" ?
The Mullins ’ effect remains a major challenge in order to provide good mechanical modeling of the complex behavior of industrial rubber materials.. Therefore, the authors reviewed the literature dedicated to this topic over the past six decades.. The authors present the experimental evidences, which characterize the Mullins ’ softening.. Then, the phenomenological models dedicated to fit the mechanical behavior of rubbers undergoing some Mullins ’ softening are studied.. To overcome the limit of a descriptive phenomenological modeling, several authors looked for a physical understanding of the phenomenon.. The authors tested some of these laws, which show little predictive abilities since the values of their parameters do not compare well with the physical quantities they are linked to.
