不同应变率下玻璃态高聚物非线性屈服后行为的唯象本构定律

基于描述高温下金属行为的方法并经过修改状态变量本构方程,本研究提出一个无定形高聚物的粘塑性行为的模型．该模型包括了应变率敏感性效应,应变软化效应和应变硬化效应．在不同应变率和低于玻璃态转变温度(Tg)范围内,利用已发表的单轴试验的实验数据给出了一个确定模型参数的方法。数值算法表明该模型能较好预示屈服后的本征软化以及随之而产生的渐进定向硬化,尤其是对无定形玻璃态高聚物．

A Phenomenological Constitutive Law for the Description of Nonlinear Post-yield Behaviour of Glassy Polymers under Different Strain Rate

In this study, a modelization of the viscoplastic behaviour of amorphous polymers is proposed, from an approach originally developed for metals behaviour at high temperature, in which state variable constitutive equations have been modified. The model includes the effect of strain rate sensitivity, strain softening and strain hardening. A procedure for the identification of model parameters is developed through the use of experimental data from uniaxial tests extracted from the literature, across a variety of strain rates and below the glass transition temperature ( Tg). The numerical algorithm shows that the predictions of this model well describe the intrinsic softening upon yield threshold and the subsequent progressive orientational hardening typical for amorphous glassy polymers.
