Analytical network-averaging of the tube model: Mechanically induced chemiluminescence in elastomers

Mechanically induced chemiluminescence is a phenomenon where broken chemical bonds send out visible light upon stress application. The intensity of the emitted light is correlated to the underlying evolution of chain scission in the polymer. In this contribution, an anisotropic analytical network-averaging concept is utilized to model mechanically induced chemiluminescence, Mullins effect, hysteresis and induced anisotropy in mechano-chemically...
