The main novelty of this paper is the use of poly-ethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) as a
new shape memory polymer with excellent shape memory effect (SME) and printability. In …

Predictive computational modeling of polymer materials is necessary for the efficient design
of composite materials and the corresponding processing methods. Molecular dynamics …

This paper aims at 4D printing of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) as an stimuli responsive shape
memory polymer (SMP) with a high level of stress recovery, making it interesting for …

The mechanical properties and plastic deformation of a Cu 55.4 Zr 35.2 Al 7.5 Y 1.9
nanoporous metallic glass (MG) have been studied using depth-sensing nanoindentation …

The expansion of the application of polymers instead of metals has warranted the evaluation
and modeling of their mechanical behaviors under various conditions. In the present study …

The mechanical behaviors of glassy polymers, including viscoelastic, softening, and re-
hardening stages, exhibit high temperature-sensitivity, which makes it a challenge to …

The nonlinear deformation and fracture of RTM6 epoxy resin is characterized as a function
of strain rate and temperature under various loading conditions involving uniaxial tension …

Pre-deformed glassy polymers exhibit distinct stress responses with opposite loading
directions, referred to as the Bauschinger effect. Although this phenomenon has been …

Additive manufactured parts often require post-processing to obtain the desired surface
finish. In this sense, this work investigates the ball burnishing process's applicability as a …

In this paper, the variable order fractional constitutive model is adopted to describe the
compression deformation of amorphous glassy polymers. In order to keep the fractional …
