Investigation on Mullins effect of rubber materials by spherical indentation method>

Rubber-like soft materials usually experience load-induced softening behavior called the Mullins effect, in which the preloaded material exhibits a significantly more compliant response than the virgin material. However, rare quantitative and simple method of characterizing Mullins effect can be fou...
