Hi there, I think the source you attached is plainly badly written. They clearly state Table 2 should contain the fitted values for the cases plotte...

Dear Martin, in reference to your points: 1. any deformation on elastic materials can be decomposed in volumetric (volume changing) and distorsional ...

Hi there, I would like to throw my thoughts in. Your problem is quite complex. When compressed above a certain threshold, rubber in compression can p...

Dear Tarup, in reference to your first point about linear viscoelasticity, there are very easy ways to check if linear viscoelasticity can be applied...

Hello David, I do hope I am not being rude or generally inappropriate, may I suggest a very useful reference, Viscoelastic solids by Prof. R. Lakes....

Mr. Inventor, I am really unsure that would work. The equation you point at is not objective, i.e. frame independent. One could look at a state of sh...

Mr. Inventor, that is an interesting paper, but how do you put it at use? The deformation measure they introduced is local!

I see your problem now, one I am quite familiar with! Back to your problem, I am not so sure I understand your plan. If you compare principal stretch...
