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 کاملThermomechanical Constraints and Constitutive Formulations in Thermoelasticity
We investigate three classes of constraints in a thermoelastic body: (i) a deformationtemperature constraint, (ii) a deformation-entropy constraint, and (iii) a deformationenergy constraint. These constraints are obtained as limits of unconstrained thermoelastic materials and we show that constraints (ii) and (iii) are equivalent. By using a limiting procedure, we show that for the constraint (...
متن کاملCraze 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 کاملRheological constitutive equation for a model of soft glassy materials
We solve exactly and describe in detail a simplified scalar model for the low frequency shear rheology of foams, emulsions, slurries, etc. @P. Sollich, F. Lequeux, P. Hébraud, and M. E. Cates, Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 2020 ~1997!#. The model attributes similarities in the rheology of such ‘‘soft glassy materials’’ to the shared features of structural disorder and metastability. By focusing on the d...
