The nonlinear viscoelasticity and its asymmetry of UV-cured resin under large amplitude oscillatory axial (LAOA) loading by Qiang Zhang, Yangguang Xu, Rui Xiao, Xiangyu Li

“…Solid viscoelastic materials often undergo large amplitude oscillatory axial (LAOA) loading and exhibit complex asymmetric nonlinear viscoelasticity in many practical applications. The methods used to analyze the nonlinear viscoelasticity of non-Newtonian fluid under large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) cannot be directly applied to the corresponding situation of solid viscoelastic materials due to strict symmetry of LAOS. …”
