Computational Modelling of Intelligent Soft Matter: Shape Memory Polymers and Hydrogels covers the multiphysics response of various smart polymer materials, such as temperature-sensitive shape memory polymers and temperature/ chemosensitive hydrogels. Several thermo-chemo-mechanical constitutive models for these smart polymers are outlined, and their real-world applications are highlighted. The numerical counterpart of each introduced constitutive model is also presented, empowering readers to solve practical problems requiring thermomechanical responses of these materials as well as design and analyze real-world structures made of them. – Introduces constitutive models based on continuum thermodynamics for intelligent soft materials- Presents calibration methods for identifying material model parameters as well as finite element implementation of the featured models- Allows readers to solve practical problems requiring thermomechanical responses from these materials as well as the design and analysis of real-world structures made of them
