Original Kurzfassung:
Different grades of several thermoplastic elastomer types were selected and are
investigated over a wide frequency/time, temperature and loading range in a research project of the
authors. Relevant material models are selected for different loading situations and based on these
experimental data the material model parameters were determined either directly or by applying
fitting procedures. These models along with the proper data were used for modeling the deformation
and the failure behavior of typical engineering thermoplastic elastomer components. Furthermore,
based on the modeling of various elastomers under different service relevant loading situation several
design proposals were formulated.
