Nonlinear behavior of some hydrostatically stressed isotropic elastomeric foams
@article{Dienes1999NonlinearBO, title={Nonlinear behavior of some hydrostatically stressed isotropic elastomeric foams}, author={John K. Dienes and Johndale C. Solem}, journal={Acta Mechanica}, year={1999}, volume={138}, pages={155-162} }
SummaryWe calculate the stress-strain relation for elastomeric foam from anab initio theory, which shows that the “plateau” and “densification” regions should be described by a hyperbola. The theory seems to agree reasonably well with experiment.
