Modified self-consistent micromechanics approach to the prediction of the stress-strain behavior of elastomeric nanocomposite using incremental theory

In the present research, classic micromechanical methods and their application as constitutive models in conjugation with incremental theory were developed. Using the modified Eshelby model, the Eigen strain concept in polymeric composite, and a modified form of self-consistent model the elastic properties of nanocomposites were predicted. Also, the stress-strain behavior of elastomer nanocomposites was calculated and validated by the experimentally determined ones. The results showed that the new model can predict the stress-strain behavior of elastomer nanocomposite at different particle volume fractions.
