Abstract
Many common elastomeric materials have two ranges of dynamic-mechanical behavior. Such materials behave as viscoelastomers at very small strains and as plastoelastomers at strains of practical engineering interest. The change from viscoelastic to plastoelastic behavior occurs at dynamic strain amplitudes of 0.001 inches per inch to 0.005 inches per inch. In the plastoelastic range, the dynamic elastic modulus decreases with increasing dynamic strain amplitude. Loss factor reaches a maximum in the plastoelastic range.Keywords
