The Study on Residual Stress Testing of Humidity Effect and Distribution Law for PMMA

Article Preview

Abstract:

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) has shown some excellent performances. However the humidity environment affects mechanical properties of PMMA seriously. In this work, the digital phase-shifting photoelasticity is used to test the humidity stress of the boundary according to which we concluded that the boundary stress decreases gradually from the boundary to the inner. The mathematical model of the boundary stress distribution is established based on the distribution law of the boundary stress. This mathematical model can be used to predict the effect of the humidity environment to the boundary stress, and guide PMMA to use safely.
