Summary
This paper presents a review of recent results found in our Laboratory and new techniques allowing for a valuable analysis of strain rate effects on the behaviour of soft viscous materials. Those results concern the use of Hopkinson bars: -a) the waves’ dispersion correction for viscoelastic 3D bars; -b) inverse calculation methods that are needed for the analysis of the results of transient tests when the hypothesis of homogeneity in the specimen is not valid.
