Constitutive 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...
متن کاملInorganic Nanoparticle-Modified Poly(Phenylene Sulphide)/Carbon Fiber Laminates: Thermomechanical Behaviour
Carbon fiber (CF)-reinforced high-temperature thermoplastics such as poly(phenylene sulphide) (PPS) are widely used in structural composites for aerospace and automotive applications. The porosity of CF-reinforced polymers is a very important topic for practical applications since there is a direct correlation between void content and mechanical properties. In this study, inorganic fullerene-li...
متن کاملA geometrical multi-scale numerical method for coupled hygro-thermo-mechanical problems in photovoltaic laminates
A comprehensive computational framework based on the finite element method for the simulation of coupled hygro-thermo-mechanical problems in photovoltaic laminates is herein proposed. While the thermo-mechanical problem takes place in the three-dimensional space of the laminate, moisture diffusion occurs in a two-dimensional domain represented by the polymeric layers and by the vertical channel...
متن کاملTheory and computation of electromagnetic fields and thermomechanical structure interaction for systems undergoing large deformations
The governing equations for electromagneto-thermomechanical systems are well established and thoroughly derived in the literature, but have been limited to small deformations. This assumption provides an “ease” in the formulation: electromagnetic fields are governed in a Eulerian frame, whereby the thermomechanics is solved in a Lagrangean frame. It is possible to map the Eulerian frame to the ...
متن کاملModulated-temperature Thermomechanical Analysis
By employing a “modulated-temperature” heating programme composed of a series of heat-isotherm stages, it is possible to separate the change in dimensions of an oriented material during heating into two contributions: a thermally “reversing” component which is due to linear thermal expansion and a “nonreversing” part arising from relaxation to the disordered state on heating above Tg . Some pre...
