Abstract
The intention of this paper is to give a comparative review of material models for polymers with special focus on crashworthiness analysis. An outline of polymers classified as incompressible elastomers, compressible foams and thermoplastics is shown. Elastomers and recoverable foams are based on the same theoretical description: hyperelasticity. We present a material law that allows fast generation of input data based on uniaxial static and...
