Abstract
Foamable resin is used for the purpose of improving the mechanical characteristics of industrial products by elastic and damping. SEBS of foamable resin is Thermoplastic Elastomer, and its behavior represents the rubber elasticity at room temperature. When foamable resin is analysed by Abaqus, the analysis is performed using the elastomeric foam material model obtained by extending the hyperelastic material model, because features is rubber elasticity at room temperature. In This paper, we went to a tensile tests, compression tests, and viscoelastic measurement of SEBS with different expansion ratio. And we developed a material model combined the viscoelastic material and elastomeric foam material for using Abaqus.
