This paper presents results from a study that quantifies the influence of excessive deformation on damage development in polyethylene (PE) pressure pipe. The experimental investigation is through application novel two-stage approach to D-split test notched pipe ring (NPR) specimens. first introduce by subjecting specimens different levels tensile strain at crosshead speeds 0.01, 1, 10 or 100 mm/min. second apply monotonic loading speed 0.01 mm/min characterize mechanical properties for have...
The work presented here describes an approach that separates the viscous stress from quasi-static counterpart for polycarbonate (PC) and its short glass fiber composite (GF-PC), with aim to characterize influence of on behavior PC as matrix GF-PC. A multi-relaxation (MR) test was used mechanical testing a three-branch spring–dashpot model data analysis, using genetic algorithm establish 100 sets fitting parameter values enabled regenerate measured decay during relaxation. Using spring...
Abstract This paper presents an analysis of the stress evolution high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) at loading, relaxation, and recovery stages in a multi‐relaxation‐recovery (RR) test. The is based on three‐branch spring‐dashpot model that uses Eyring's law to govern viscous behavior. comprises two branches represent short‐ long‐term time‐dependent responses deformation, quasi‐static branch time‐independent response. A fast numerical framework genetic algorithms was developed determine values...
