Using the characteristic-line method and the spherical wave assumption, the propagation of impact pressure wave front and the subsequent unloading profile can be simulated using the experimental velocity boundary condition. Viscoelastic model is determined by a retardation time of 5.5 10 5 s for high oscillation frequencies and a stress relaxation time of 2.0–4.5 10 7 s for shock wave attenuation. Oscillations at the beginning of the creep-mode of rheological measurement, and byĮxamining the data of published split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) experiments.
