Abstract We consider the results of experiments with specimens made of a viscoelastic material at constant compressive and unloading strain rates. The unloading was started at various levels of compressive strain. We present the dependences of conventional and true stresses on linear measures of strains. Using the Nonlinear endochronous theory of aging viscoelastic materials [1] and replacing the conventional stresses by true stresses, we carried out a structure-power analysis of stressed states under active loadings and unloadings. By comparing the values of structure components of the specific work of internal forces computed with the use of conventional and true stresses, we show that those where true stresses are introduced are physically more meaningful.

A good coincidence of the theoretical and experimental dependences of stresses on the linear measures of strains of the order of 50% showed that medium finite strains can be described with the use of linear measures of strains if one appropriately takes into account the physical nonlinearity of the materials. One should have this in mind when carrying out computations with the use of various measures of finite strains. It was simultaneously established that the initial modulus of unloading of viscoelastic materials depends on the level of strains at the time where the unloading begins, which should be taken into account, for example, when computing the Karman modulus for determining the critical stress of the compressed rod.
