Soft materials in technology and biology – characteristics, properties, and parameter identification [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The growing interest in flexible structures has also brought biomechanics into the focus of engineers. Elastomers and soft tissues consist of similar networks of macromolecules. After a brief introduction to the concepts of continuum mechanics, typical isotropic models of soft materials in technology and biology are presented. Similarities and differences of the thermo-mechanical behavior are discussed. For rubber-like materials a modification of the Kilian network is suggested which greatly simplifies the identification of material parameters. Finally the dynamical loading of biopolymers and volume changes with phase transitions are considered.
