	abstract = {To synthetically investigate the compressive mechanism of warp knitted spacer fabric reinforced silicone rubber matrix
composite (SRWSF) under 20\% deformation, a compression meso-mechanics theoretical model was established in this
paper. The silicone rubber was processed as isotropic material according to the nonlinear constitutive equation, the
spacer yarn was assumed as a continuous uniform element. The compression meso-mechanics theoretical model
consists of the mechanical model of silicone rubber and the compression model of warp knitted spacer fabric (WSF),
based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and the Spence Invariant constitutive model theory. To verify the feasibility of
the compression meso-mechanics theoretical model of SRWSF, the compression test of SRWSF was carried out. The
simulated compression stress-strain curve was compared with the results of the experiment. The result shows that the
compression theoretical model has a high agreement with the experimental result under 20\% strain, as compared with
the Polynomial fitting curve. This phenomenon indicates that the compression theoretical model established in this study
can reasonably simulate the actual compression behaviours within 20\% deformation for SRWSF. Moreover, the
theoretical model can help understand the compression mechanism of SRWSF and optimise the designing of silicone-
rubber-matrix composite reinforced by WSF for cushioning applications.},
