Abstract: | A three-dimensional photovisco-elasto-plastic model considering the strain rate effect was investigated by the scattered-light
method using polyester as a model material. To examine the mechanical and optical properties of the material, tension and
torsion tests were carried out on cylindrical specimens under various strain rates at 30°C. The effects of strain rate on
the stress-strain relation and scattered-light fringe appearance were evaluated. The equivalent shearing stress-strain relation
can be approximated by the Ramberg-Osgood equation with rate-dependent modulus and yield stress. The fringe gradient, when
normalized by a rate-dependent yield gradient, can be related to an equivalent strain in the same form regardless of the strain
rate. The strain rate can be evaluated from the measurement of the rate of increase of the fringe gradient. Hence, the relation
between the fringe gradient and its rate of increase was derived as a function of strain rate. Finally, a method is proposed
for the estimation of the visco-elasto-plastic stress and strain in a three-dimensional specimen from the measurement of only
the fringe gradient and its rate of increase. The method was successfully applied not only to uniaxial tension but also to
pure torsion. |
