Abstract
Because of their low mechanical wave speed, high strain rate testing of rubber is highly difficult. Indeed, stress and strain homogeneity is hard to achieve. In this paper, a semi-analytic inverse solution is proposed. This solution is based on a uni-axial stress state assumption in the specimen. Moreover, a new-Hookean law is assumed for rubber. The new method is successfully applied to a high strain rate test on a synthetic rubber.
