The present paper is concerned with constitutive modeling of the compressive stress-strain behavior of selected polymers at strain rates from 10-3 to 103/s using a modified Ramberg-Osgood equation. High strain-rate compressive stress-strain curves up to strains of nearly 0.08 for four different commercially available extruded polymers were determined on the standard split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). The low and intermediate strain-rate compressive stress-strain relations were measured in an Instron testing machine. Six parameters in the modified Ramberg-Osgood equation were determined by fitting to the experimental stress-strain data using a least-squares fit. It was shown that the monotonic compressive stress-strain behavior over a wide range of strain rates can successfully be described by the modified Ramberg-Osgood constitutive model. The limitations of the model were discussed.
