Abstract: In this paper, we examine the response of an incompressible elastomer when it is subjected to small, steady-state oscillations superposed on a large steady deformation. The material is assumed ...

Abstract: In this paper we briefly examine the form of the isothermal constitutive relation of an isotropic simple material under stress-relaxation conditions. We then compare the predictions of the ...

Abstract: A finite-element displacement formulation and solution procedure are developed for the analysis of large displacement problems of viscoelastic beams and frames. The displacements considered are of ...
