“…Indeed, hysteretic elastic nonlinearity (Guyer and Johnson, 2009) is composed of two interlinked effects. Besides FD, i.e., the strain amplitude dependence of the material properties (modulus and damping) described above, Slow Dynamics (SD) is also present (see e.g., Guyer et al, 1999;Tencate et al, 2004;Scalerandi et al, 2010Scalerandi et al, , 2018Lott et al, 2017;Shokouhi et al, 2017). Such effect consists in the time dependence of modulus and damping when the sample is excited at constant strain.…”
