Various aspects of the structural habits and associated thermodynamic properties of
polyamide6 are critically examined with regard to controversies that appeared in literature …

Uniaxial and plane strain compression experiments are conducted on amorphous poly
(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) and poly (ethylene terephthalate)-glycol (PETG) over a wide …

A constitutive model is developed to capture the rate-dependent stress–strain behavior of an
amorphous polymer (poly (ethylene terephthalate)-glycol (PETG)) at temperatures in and …

The mechanical stress–strain behaviour of polyethylene (PE) materials under finite strains is
studied both experimentally and theoretically. In order to gain insight into the structure and …

The constitutive responses of three glassy thermoset polymers at impact rates of strain and
slower, together with measurements of adiabatic heating, were reported earlier by the …

Polylactic acid (PLA) films were subjected to accelerated ultra-violet (UV) ageing. The UV
irradiation leads to the alteration of the chemical structure which influences directly the …

The relevance of equivalent strain rate at reference temperature derived from
time/temperature superposition principle is validated as a constitutive parameter at large …

This paper presents an analysis of the stress evolution of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE)
at loading, relaxation, and recovery stages in a multi‐relaxation‐recovery (RR) test. The …

Durability is a major limitation of current proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Mechanical
stress due to hygro-thermal cycling is one failure mechanism of the polymer electrolyte …

An experimental study was made of the effects of prior molecular orientation on large tensile
deformations of polystyrene in the glassy state. A new hybrid glass‐melt constitutive model …
