Soft elastic composites: Microstructure evolution, instabilities and relaxed response by domain formation

This work provides a review of several complementary analytical methods for characterizing the macroscopic response of ‘soft’ elastic composites subjected to large deformations. For this purpose, we first recall the variational definitions of the homogenized response for hyperelastic composites with...
