Butyl Rubber Test Data

Hi Tod,  Thanks for all the posts on material modeling.  Please link this butyl rubber test data post to your series on sharing test data.  I've attached a single file named "Butyl_Rubber_Test_Data.zip".   In that zip file are 5 uniaxial tension tests done at different strain-rates.  The strain-rates are shown at the top of the columns of test data.  The test data is .  Time is in seconds, stress is MPa.  This is eng. strain and eng. stress.  There is also some cyclic test data from the uniaxial, planar and equibiaxial modes.

I have not seen anything in Abaqus/CAE that would allow me to create a rate-dependent hyperelasticity material model for this butyl rubber.  I've seen the Abaqus/CAE tools "Evaluate" for calibrating hyperelastic and viscoelastic material models,  but can't figure out how to use them for this family of strain-rate tests.  If you could help me understand how to calibrate this type of test data, that would be great.  Let me know if you need any more info on this test data.  Oh, yeah, all tests performed at room temperature. 

Cheers, Trent

Here is a narrated video calibration for this test data:
