Data description

The data repository is shared as a lossless compressed ZIP file: data.zip. Each data record associated with this work is included in that file and follows the herein folder hierarchy.

Primary

The data is shared as primary or raw data. The primary data reports all Uniaxial Compression or UC testing and the resulting recorded measurements of stress and strain. Each XLSX or Microsoft Excel Open XML Format Spreadsheet file reports the specified recorded data. Each XLSX file contains three types of spreadsheets: a data spreadsheet for each technical replicate (including a line plot representing the standard force in kPa as function of the deformation in percentage), a statistic spreadsheet for the BK Wako parameters, and a results spreadsheet for a quick summary.

Final

The curated data is shared as final data. Each file is a UTF8 text format file or TXT. The alpha and gamma parameters of the Blatz model are reported for each silicone mixture for potential material simulation using the finite element method. Each parameter is reported in an individual file.

Source

The provided source code files, contained within src, permit us to format the primary data and to model the Cauchy stress: (a) The DataExample.txt UTF8 file is an Example of the primary data obtained after UC. The file contains two columns: nominal strain and stress. (b) The BlatzModel.R script computes the Cauchy stress modeling using the Blatz model (c.f., Cauchy stress modeling). (c) The Moduli.R script validates the secondary data using linear regression analysis and tangential fitting (c.f., Technical validation).
