Study of Deformations for Thermoplastic Polyurethane Membrane by Finite Elements Method (FEM)

Article Preview

Abstract:

The study about deformations of thermoplastic polyurethane membrane (desmopan membrane) is very important for a lot of industry domains (mechanic, transport, agriculture, chemistry, medicine, ...). This paper presents an original work about deformations by Finite Elements Method (FEM) analysis for desmopan membrane. Thermoplastic polyurethane (desmopan), an anisotropic material, is made in a very wide range of models and types. By Digital Image Correlation Method (DICM) we have determined mechanical characteristics [5].These with geometrical characteristics are required as input for FEM. Stresses [2] and deformations output of FEM, are necessary to calculate the fatigue resistance to limited durability to fracture [7]. After, we can study the membrane reliability of the desmopan membranes for diaphragm pumps.
