Measurements of hardness or modulus are not usually helpful in studying time-dependent deformation of a material. It is essential to match load functions in order to make sure that measurements are ...

When characterizing the strain rate sensitive deformation mechanics of materials, high strain rate testing is essential. Conventionally, in a standard nanoindentation test, a load is applied to the ...

If you want a crash simulation involving plastics to yield useful results, it is important to model the material behavior appropriately. The high strain rates have a significant effect on the ...
