How Long Time Should a Stress Relaxation Experiment Be?
Stress relaxation and creep are useful experiments. This article shows that even short-term experiments of these types are great.

This article shows what experiments to perform on a thermoset in order to calibrate a continuum level material model.
This article explains what experiments to perform on a thermoplastic in order to get the required data for material model calibration.
This article explains what experiments to perform on a rubber material in order to get the required data for material model calibration.
It is possible to calibrate a two-network visco-plastic material model to experimental data from a single experiment. This article explains how to do it.
Part 2: Calibrating a material model from tension with necking experimental data is surprisingly difficult. This article explains one approach to do it.
This article examines the difference between simple shear, pure shear, and planar tension.
It would be very handy if uniaxial compression was the same as biaxial tension. But is it? This article has the answer.
Discussion about how to test and model permanent set in rubber materials. With the right material model it is possible!
Smart mechanical testing is about how to extract as much info as possible using a small number of experiments.
In large deformations, simple shear is not so simple. This article describes how to properly test and analyze shear behavior.
Part 4 of a tutorial series on how to calibrate a material model for PEEK. The focus is on the results from the calibrations.
