Abstract
A synthetic gel based on SEBS (styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene), commonly used as a human soft tissue simulant, was characterised over a wide range of strain rates. Material parameters were derived from quasi-static and dynamic tests using DMA. These parameters were then integrated into a visco-hyperelastic material law based on an Ogden model. Ballistic impact simulations showed good agreement with experimental analysis.
