Study of Material Modeling of Polymers for Impact Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

High-speed tensile tests were carried out to investigate strain rate effect on both yield stress and failure strain using ASTM D1822 Type-S specimens made of polycarbonate. Based on test results, parameters for a material model suitable for polymers are determined, and numerical analysis is carried out to simulate test results. The material model is used to simulate tensile test using a dog-bone specimen and Charpy test other than the tensile test of Type-S specimens. It is found that good predictions can be obtained when rate dependent material parameters are used. Further, the high-speed tensile test considered in the present study is suitable for selection of parameters for material modeling of polymers for impact analysis.
