“Hyperelastic and viscoelastic material evaluation,” Section 7.1
“Creating a material when you create a section,” Section 7.2
“Kinematic hardening plasticity in ABAQUS/Explicit,” Section 7.7
“Evaluation of strain-rate-dependent data in ABAQUS/Explicit,” Section 7.8
“Orthotropic elastic-plasticity in ABAQUS/Explicit,” Section 7.9
