Abstract
The paper describes the desired hardening rule for a proposed viscoplastic model for filled rubber. The suitability of plasticity models currently available in a commercial FE code for this purpose is then examined. It is concluded that a recently implemented Multilinear Kinematic Hardening Plasticity (MKHP) material model is capable of providing the desired Masing rule for filled rubber and is indistinguishable from a previously proposed overlay approach by Austrell, leading to a significant reduction in computation time. In addition, results are presented for the overlaid model where a newly offered finite strain plasticity model is used to calculate the response of hyperelastic-perfectly-plastic materials. The model uses multiplicative decomposition of deformation gradient and has been used to show that finite yield strains may also be used in the viscoplastic model with additive decomposition after all without significant problem.
