Abstract:
      As an intelligent flexible material with multi-field coupling characteristics, the preparation technology, performance characterization, and structural application of hydrogels have been rapidly developed.Based on a detailed analysis of the constitutive theory and structural design of hydrogels, this paper proposes the basic methods and paradigms of computational multi-field coupling mechanics of hydrogels.At the microscopic scale, a coarse-grained molecular dynamics model of hydrogel has been developed.The coarse-grained force field was determined by using a machine learning method.At the macroscale, based on the recently developed constitutive models for isotropic hydrogel incorporating the effects of chain entanglements and anisotropic hydrogel reinforced by fibers, a coupled finite element method is presented to investigate the chemo-mechanical coupling behavior of the designed intelligent structures of hydrogels.It is pointed out that computational multi-field coupled mechanics will become the main analysis method for hydrogel structures, which contributes to the property design and engineering application of this kind of intelligent flexible materials.
