Carbon/glass hybrid composite (CGHC) laminates are some of the most promising
composites for lightweight applications. Sometimes these laminates are used in warm …

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

Recently, the unusual macromechanical behavior of a soft–hard-blend polymer composite
was discovered, which is rubber-like at a low strain rate and glass-like at a high strain rate …

A physically-based constitutive model for predicting the mechanical response of amorphous
glassy polymers at room temperature and low strain rates was established within the frame …

As a significant means of plastic deformation in polymers, shear bands play a crucial role in
material failure and performance optimization. In this paper, the finite element method is …

In this paper, experimental and numerical results of an aluminum alloy's mechanical
behavior are discussed. Over a wide range of strain rates (10− 4 s− 1≤ έ≤ 103 s− 1) the …

The rate-temperature dependent brittle-ductile transition (BDT) behavior of PMMA
(polymethyl methacrylate) mode-II fracture was investigated through tensile-loading shear …

Passive sampling methods can provide valuable insights for monitoring hydrophobic
organic compounds (HOCs) in aquatic environments. As the list of target HOCs expands …

PVDF has historically drawn the interest of the scientific community because of its
mechanical response to external stimuli. Recently, novel 3D printing techniques have been …

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 …
