In t his contribution the mechanical properties of Bouncing Putty are investigated and the material parameters are determined by a rheological model. The Bouncing Putty is a silicone polymer, which shows viscoelastic behavior and it is characterized as a Non-Newtonian fluid with dilatancy. If it is thrown on a surface, it bounces back like a spring. But it flows like a viscous fluid, if it is simply put on a desk. The reason why it behaves either like an elastic material or like a viscous liquid is the velocity of the deformation. For dilatant also named shear-thickening materials the viscosity increases, if the strain rate (velocity of the deformation) rises. Because of the non-linear stiffness and damping behavior, this material is very interesting as a smart material in modern engineering, especially to handle disturbing vibrations and dynamic effects. Hence, to use this material for applications in engineering the non-linear spring-damping behavior has to be assessed by the functional relations of the mechanical parameters. But, determining elasticity and viscosity is not trivial, because the non-constant values are based on experiments and they depend on the theoretical model, which is applied. Due to this, an appropriate rheological model to map the effect of shearthickening is developed and a testing method, based on a deformation test under a constant velocity of deformation using a servo-hydraulic testing machine, is presented. The recorded testing data is fitted to the rheological model and this yields the values of the material parameters according to the model. As a result, the elasticity and the viscosity parameters of the dilatant Bouncing Putty are quantified for different deformation velocities.
