International Journal of Impact Engineering, 2023 The high strain rate (above ~ 104/s) behavior of an elastomer is characterized using low strain rate (below ~ 101/s) dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and time–temperature superposition. This approach is validated using high strain rate ball impact experiments and finite element predictions of ball deformations and rebound speeds.
