In this work, a fully thermomechanical coupling constitutive theory is developed for
amorphous glassy polymers to explain and predict their complex temperature-and rate …

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 …

A number of constitutive models have been developed for solid polymers to describe the
large deformation behavior. However, most of the existing models rely on a purely elastic or …

This study proposes a three-dimensional elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model to depict the
rate-and temperature-dependent behaviour of poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) under a …

An approach suitable for modeling viscoelastic-viscoplastic response with isothermal fatigue
damage in amorphous solids is proposed. The theory explicitly accounts for frame …

The existing code procedures for glassy polymers are in ASME Safety Standard for Pressure
Vessels for Human Occupancy (PVHO-1). The current service spans hostile conditions in the …

The objective of this work is to investigate the influence of damage mechanisms on
inhomogeneous deformation behavior of amorphous glassy polymers. The mechanical …

Novel experimental data, obtained recently using advanced multi-scale experiments, have
been used to develop a micro-mechanically motivated constitutive model for amorphous …

Experimental data are needed to evaluate constitutive models. The richer the experimental
data, in terms of different deformation modes for example, the better the constraints on the …
