- A multiscale continuum model for strain-induced cavitation damage and crystallization for rubber-like materials is proposed. The constitutive behavior is determined by homogenization over different length scales, namely, the nano-scale, micro-scale and macro-scale. The microstructure of a filled rubber-like material is seen as interaction between clusters of the filler particles and long-chain molecules that form two networks, between cross-links and between the filler aggregates. The network between cross-links in the nano-scale is modeled using the full network approach of semi-crystalline chains. A phenomenological law is proposed to describe the crystallite nucleation law. The network between the filler particles is described by statistical mechanics in the nano- and/or micro-scale where the polymer chains sliding on and/or debonding from filler aggregate surface is incorporated. The debonding process is regarded as the main mechanism of the nucleation of nano-cavities which introduces non-affine deformation to the network between cross-links. Hence, The nanoscopic initially non-cavitated network between cross-links is homogenized over the micro-scale assuming a spherical representative volume element using the kinematics proposed by Hang-Sheng and Abeyaratne (Hang-Sheng and Abeyaratne in Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids 40 (3), 571592,1992). The constitutive model is presented in form of an averaged strain energy function. The predictive capabilities of the model are then tested via comparisons with experimental data from literature.
