Craze initiation in glassy polymers
In this work a method is presented that can be used to predict craze initiation in glassy polymers. The approach is based on the view that the development of a craze is preceded by de formation of a localised plastic deformation zone. As this zone develops, the hydrostatic stress increases, and, when exceeding a critical stress level, cavitation will take place, leading to local development of ...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics simulations of glassy polymers
We review recent results from computer simulation studies of polymer glasses, from chain dynamics around glass transition temperature Tg to the mechanical behaviour below Tg. These results clearly show that modern computer simulations are able to address and give clear answers to some important issues in the field, in spite of the obvious limitations in terms of length and time scales. In the p...
متن کاملIndentation as a probe for the post - yield behavior of glassy polymers
This report describes a first study into the possibility of developing a hybrid experimental/numerical technique that enables the full characterization of the finite strain behavior of glassy polymers such as polycarbonate and polystyrene. The numerical and experimental techniques involved are Finite Element Models based on a finite strain elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model and indentation ...
متن کاملSimple model for the deformation-induced relaxation of glassy polymers.
Glassy polymers show "strain hardening": at constant extensional load, their flow first accelerates, then arrests. Recent experiments have found this to be accompanied by a striking and unexplained dip in the segmental relaxation time. Here we explain such behavior by combining a minimal model of flow-induced liquefaction of a glass with a description of the stress carried by strained polymers,...
متن کاملConstitutive equations for thermomechanical deformations of glassy polymers
Poly-Carbonate (PC) and Poly-Methyl-Methacrylate (PMMA) are lightweight and mechanically tough transparent glassy polymers. Their mechanical behavior at low to moderate strain rates has been well characterized; however, that at high strain rates needs additional work. We propose two modifications to existing pressure-dependent viscoplastic constitutive equations that enable one to simulate bett...
