“…Many forms of nonlinear viscoelastic constitutive models have been developed to describe time/rate-dependent, large deformation behavior of polymers (e.g., Bergström and Boyce, 1998;Boyce et al, 2000;Drozdov and Gupta, 2003;Shim et al, 2004;Dusunceli and Colak, 2006;Ayoub et al, 2010). For the PN model as discussed in Section 4.1, the material parameters include B; m; n, and two shear moduli, l A and l B .…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper presents a study on stretch-induced wrinkling of thin polyethylene sheets when subjected to uniaxial stretch with two clamped ends. Three-dimensional digital image correlation was used to measure the wrinkling deformation. It was observed that the wrinkle amplitude increased as the nominal strain increased up to around 10%, but then decreased at larger strain levels. This behavior is consistent with results of finite element simulations for a hyperelastic thin sheet reported previously (Nayyar et al., 2011). However, wrinkles in the polyethylene sheet were not fully flattened out at large strains (>30%) as predicted for the hyperelastic sheet, but exhibited a residual wrinkle whose amplitude depended on the loading rate. This is attributed to the viscoelastic response of the material. Two different viscoelastic models were adopted in finite element simulations to study the effects of viscoelasticity on wrinkling and to improve the agreement with the experiments, including residual wrinkles and rate dependence. It is found that a parallel network model of nonlinear viscoelasticity is suitable for simulating the constitutive behavior and stretch-induced wrinkling of the polyethylene sheets.

“…Materials which have been well-studied in the literature are silicone elastomers [13,66,151], plasticized PVC [152,153] and polyureas [39,40,72,[154][155][156][157][158][159] and polyurethanes [160][161][162]. The rate dependence of these materials depends strongly on the glass transition, and in particular whether this transition affects the room temperature response at strain rates of interest.…”

The mechanical properties of polymers are becoming increasingly important as they are used in structural applications, both on their own and as matrix materials for composites. It has long been known that these mechanical properties are dependent on strain rate, temperature, and pressure. In this paper, the methods for dynamic loading of polymers will be briefly reviewed. The high strain rate mechanical properties of several classes of polymers, i.e. glassy and rubbery amorphous polymers and semi-crystalline polymers will be reviewed. Additionally, time-temperature superposition for rate dependent large strain properties and pressure dependence in polymers will be discussed. Constitutive modeling and shock properties of polymers will not be discussed in this review.

“…Hoo-Fatt and Ouyang [27] tested styrene butadiene rubber in dynamic tensile tests in the strain rate domain of 76 s −1 to 450 s −1 and found significant strain rate effects, which were covered in their Abaqus/Explicit model by viscoelastic terms. Silicone rubber with identical Shore hardness values as in the current study (SHA-40, SHA-60 and SHA-80) was tested by Shim et al [28] in dynamic tensile and compression tests at strain rates from 10 −2 s −1 to 3,300 s −1 on a Split-Hopkinson bar with significantly increased forces for higher loading rates. Again, the strain rate effect was covered in their numerical model by viscoelastic terms.…”

Abstract A low velocity impact study of aircraft tire rubber on 3D textile-reinforced composite plates was performed experimentally and numerically. In contrast to regular unidirectional composite laminates, no delaminations occur in such a 3D textile composite. Yarn decohesions, matrix cracks and yarn ruptures have been identified as the major damage mechanisms under impact load. An increase in the number of 3D warp yarns is proposed to improve the impact damage resistance. The characteristic of a rubber impact is the high amount of elastic energy stored in the impactor during impact, which was more than 90% of the initial kinetic energy. This large geometrical deformation of the rubber during impact leads to a less localised loading of the target structure and poses great challenges for the numerical modelling. A hyperelastic Mooney-Rivlin constitutive law was used in Abaqus/Explicit based on a step-by-step validation with static rubber compression tests and low velocity impact tests on aluminium plates. Simulation models of the textile weave were developed on the meso-and macro-scale. The final correlation between impact simulation results on 3D textile-reinforced composite plates and impact test data was promising, highlighting the potential of such numerical simulation tools.
