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

Dr. Mostafa Baghani has been an Associate Professor at the University of Tehran's School of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering since 2012. In 2016, he became the director of the University of Tehran's Smart Materials and Structures Lab. In 2018, he was named the top young researcher at the University of Tehran, out of almost 300 professors under the age of 40. In the framework of continuum mechanics, his research focuses on smart material production, design, and constitutive modeling. He has also focused on computer modeling of proposed constitutive models, which are frequently developed using the nonlinear finite element method. He has over 170 journal papers to his credit and has served as a reviewer for over 30 international journals.
