Abstract A constitutive model to describe the behavior of rubber from low to high strain rates is presented. For loading, the primary hyperelastic behavior is characterized by the six parameter Ogden’s strain-energy potential of the third order. The rate-dependence is captured by the nonlinear second order BKZ model using another five parameters, having two relaxation times. For unloading, a single parameter model has been presented to define Hysteresis or continuous damage, while Ogden’s two term model has been used to capture Mullin’s effect or discontinuous damage. Lastly, the Feng-Hallquist failure surface dictates the ultimate failure for More >
