Application of constitutive modeling to the linear and nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of nitrile rubber /

In elastomer design, engineers tend to treat elastomers like highly elastic, low modulus materials, ignoring all viscoelastic effects. An elastomer's response to dynamic deformation is a combination of an elastic response and a viscous response with energy dissipated in each complete cycle of...
