Abstract: An approximate constitutive equation for nonlinear viscoelastic incompressible materials under small finite deformation and for short time ranges has been derived by Huang and Lee [1]. The resulting ...

Abstract: Real solids are not incompressible, although many viscoelastic materials which undergo large deformations show only small changes in volume under ordinary loading conditions. This paper is concerned ...

Abstract: Using a measured functional relationship for draft gear characteristics a nonlinear model is developed to predict the coupler forces between cars of a railroad train. The model is then simplified, ...
