剪切变形下非晶态高聚物的力学行为

基于非平衡态热力学理论，提出了一个适用于不可压材料的新的热粘弹性本构模型．该模型将橡胶弹性理论中的非高斯分子网络模型推广到计及粘性和热效应的情形．通过引入一组二阶张量形式的内变量，建议了一个新的Helmholtz自由能表达式，从而可以用来合理描述内变量的演化规律．根据以上模型，重点研究了热粘弹性材料在简单剪切变形下的力学行为，考察了由于分子链取向分布的变化而产生的“粘性耗散诱导”各向异性，讨论了应变率效应和由于粘性耗散而导致的热软化效应对剪应力的影响．理论预测结果与G’Sell等人的实验数据的定性比较表明了新的本构模型的有效性。

Mechanical Behavior of Amorphous Polymers in Shear

Based on the non-equilibrium thermodynamic theory, a new thermo-viscoelastic constitutive model for an incompressible material is proposed. This model can be considered as a kind of generalization of the non-Gaussian network theory in rubber elasticity to include the viscous and the thermal effects. A set of second rank tensorial internal variables was introduced, and in order to adequately describe the evolution of these internal variables, a new expression of the Helmholtz free energy was suggested. The mechanical behavior of the thermo-viscoelastic material under simple shear deformation was studied, and the "viscous dissipation induced" anisotropy due to the change of orientation distribution of molecular chains was examined. Influences of strain rate and thermal softening produced by the viscous dissipation on the shear stress were also discussed. Finally, the model predictions were compared with the experimental results performed by G'Sell et al, thus the validity of the proposed model is verified.
