This research aims at obtaining the material response of homogenized 3D printed
elastomers under three loading conditions, uniaxial tension, equibiaxial tension, and planar
tension. The finite element model of 3D printed elastomers has been developed, and the
architectural effects on its mechanics are studied. The applicability of the rule of mixture is
explored to obtain the stress-strain response of 3D-printed elastomers using bulk material
properties.
