Instrumented micro-hardness measurements used to identify the local visco-hyper-elastic parameters of Polyurethane elastomers

ABSTRACT

The aim of this research is to investigate the ability to identify the visco-hyper-elastic parameters from load-displacement curves obtained at a micro-scale, then to validate these parameters at a macroscopic scale.
