Application of the network alteration theory for modeling the time-dependent constitutive behaviour of rubbers. Part Ⅱ. Further evaluation of the general theory and Experimental verification

摘要

In part Ⅰ of this paper (E.G. Septanika, L.J. Ernst, 1998. Application of the network alteration theory for modeling the time-dependent constitutive behaviour of rubbers. Part Ⅰ. General theory. Mech. Mater. 30, 253-263), a general time-dependent constitutive model for rubber materials has been developed, based on combination of the general rubber hyperelastic theory and the microstructure alteration theory. Besides, Mullin's effect is included into the model by employing Simo's rubber hysteresis theory. In this second article a further evaluation of the developed model is presented.
