MODULEF

Functional Description: The numerical method to approximate the constitutive laws for rubber elasticity derived from polymer physics are implemented in the Inria software Modulef.

It is based on : - algorithms from stochastic geometry to generate suitable polymer networks, - Delaunay tessellation algorithms to deal with steric effects (courtesy of the Inria project-team GAMMA2), - the introduction of 1-dimensional finite elements for the polymer-chains in Modulef.
