Summary:Title screen
The classical statistical theory of polymerization predicts a random distribution of polymer chain lengths.This distribution has long ago been known in the polymerization theory but, to the best of our knowledge,has not so far been utilized in mechanics of polymers. In the present paper, we incorporate this chain lengthstatistics into full network rubber models which are based on continuous directional distributions of polymerchains. The free energy of the full network results as an integral of single chain energies over the unit sphere.In the case of an initially isotropic spatial arrangement of chains and ideally elastic behavior an analyticalsolution in terms of micro-structural parameters of the network is obtained. Introducing a softening criterionformulated in terms of the minimal number of chain segments available in the distribution we can describenot only elastic behavior but also inelastic phenomena especially pronounced in filled rubbers. These are, forexample, the Mullins effect, permanent set and strain induced anisotropy. In this case, numerical integrationover the unit sphere is applied. Predictions of the model demonstrate good agreement with experimentaldata with respect to the above mentioned phenomena.
