Application of Linear Viscoelastic Continuum Damage Theory to the Low and High Strain Rate Response of Thermoplastic Polyurethane

Abstract

Understanding the mechanical response of elastomers to applied deformation at different strain rates and temperatures is crucial in industrial design and manufacture; however, this response is often difficult to measure, especially at high strain rates (e.g. > 100 s− 1), and more predictive methods to obtain constitutive relationships are required.
