A simple rate-temperature dependent hyperelastic model applied to neoprene rubber

Abstract:
Rubber is widely used in engineering applications in which it may be subjected to impact loading leading to high strain rate deformation. This resulting deformation may occur at a variety of temperatures, notwithstanding the self-heating of the material. For this reason, it is necessary to study the mechanical behaviour of these materials over a range of loading conditions. The strong rate and temperature dependence of their properties provides a further motivation for this understanding. In this paper, the relationships between the response of a neoprene rubber at various strain rates and temperatures are investigated, and a simple model making use of the time–temperature superposition (TTS) principle proposed to describe the material behaviour. As it is challenging to obtain high rate data on rubbery materials using conventional apparatus, such as the split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB), the simple two parameter hyperelastic model proposed here provides a useful complementary tool to interrogate the response.
