- This paper proposed a novel numerical framework for polymeric gels based on the theory of multiplication decomposition of the deformation gradient. This novel numerical framework had been directly applied in a nonlinear finite element algorithm (10.1016/j.cma.2014.08.029) and an interpolating meshless approach (10.1016/j.enganabound.2019.12.004) for simulations of gels. The theoretical and numerical achievements presented in this paper have also been recommended in a state-of-art review on advances in mechanics of soft materials (10.1142/S1758825115300011).
