Abstract The dynamic mechanical properties of Uniroyal Ensolite AAC, a viscoelastic closed-cell foam rubber, are investigated by means of materials tests. Sufficient test data is presented to form a basis for one-dimensional (uniform compression) empirical constitutive equation models. Results of some additional tests are presented to assess the potential usefulness of a one-dimensional constitutive equation for predicting response in typical occupant-to-vehicle impact situations.
