Indentation 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 کاملModeling the viscoelastoplastic behavior of amorphous glassy polymers
Constitutive equations are derived for the viscoelastoplastic response of amorphous glassy polymers at isothermal loading with small strains. A polymer is treated as an ensemble of cooperatively relaxing regions (CRR) which rearrange at random times as they are thermally agitated. Rearrangement of CRRs reflects the viscoelastic response of the bulk medium. At low stresses, CRRs are connected wi...
متن کاملPredictors of cavitation in glassy polymers under tensile strain: a coarse grained molecular dynamics investigation
The nucleation of cavities in a homogenous polymer under tensile strain is investigated in a coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation. In order to establish a causal relation between local microstructure and the onset of cavitation, a detailed analysis of some local properties is presented. In contrast to common assumptions, the nucleation of a cavity is neither correlated to a local loss o...

متن کاملYield stress, heterogeneities and activated processes in soft glassy materials*
The rheological behaviour of soft glassy materials results essentially from the interplay between shearing forces and an intrinsic slow dynamics. This competition can be described by a microscopic theory, which can be viewed as a nonequilibrium schematic mode-coupling theory. This statistical mechanics approach to rheology results in a series of detailed theoretical predictions, some of which a...
