Additively manufactured acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) via fused deposition modeling
(FDM) and compression molded ABS specimens were loaded in tension to compare their …

In the present contribution, a finite strain visco-elastic visco-plastic (three-dimensional)
constitutive model is proposed to predict the nonlinear response of neat, porous and rubber …

Exposed to severe loading condition in fuel cells, the perfluorinated sulfonic-acid (PFSA)
membrane degrades over time, which becomes the primary cause of the increasing …

In addition to extremely high strength, manufacturing temperatures of bulk metallic glasses
(BMGs) relative to steels are low making them to desired energy saving engineering …

When investigating materials to be utilized, attention inevitably focuses on their resistance
over the service life. Despite the popularity of amorphous polymers, ranging from their …

In this article, we present a multi-scale plastic-damage model for strain-induced
morphological anisotropy in semi-crystalline polyethylene formulated within a continuum …

In this article, we propose an approach suitable for modeling isothermal fatigue in
amorphous polymers. The theory is formulated in a rate form within continuum mechanics …

The deformation behavior of solid polymers under isothermal, quasi-static loadings is
investigated. A comprehensive test program consisting of tension, torsion, and combinations …

This paper predicts the cyclic creep behaviors of deep-sea manned submersible PMMA
viewport windows that experience the cyclic dive, operation and rise stages. The three …

Due to favorable properties (cheap price, easy processing, preeminent combination of
toughness and strength, clearness, recyclability etc.), amorphous polymers are widely used …
