Time-dependent behaviour has been studied using load-relaxation tests. Experiments have been simulated with a finite element software using a visco-hyperelastic material model. The parameters of this model have been determined using deep learning techniques. The developed material models have been used to mechanically simulate a standard compression test of a prototype intraocular lens.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Intraocular lensesAcrylatesDepth sensing indentationVisco-hyperelasticityCataract surgeryinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article10.1016/j.jmbbm.2021.104997info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
