Their mechanical properties under compression, for engineering strains up to about 80%, are characterized over a range of strain rates between 10-2 and 103/s. Dynamic compression is applied using a split Hopkinson pressure bar device. Experimental results show that the behaviour of elastomeric foam is sensitive to strain rate and can be described by a visco-hyperelastic material model. In this model, the quasi-static response is defined by compressible hyperelasticity, whereby the strain energy potential is assumed to be representable by a newly proposed polynomial series with three independent parameters. Strain rate sensitivity is characterized by incorporating a nonlinear Maxwell relaxation model with four parameters. The (seven) material parameters in the constitutive model are determined from high-speed mechanical testing methods tailored for high-compliance materials. A comparison of predictions based on the proposed frame-independent constitutive equation with experiments shows that the model is able to describe the rate dependent behaviour of the elastomeric foams examined. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
