Measurement of Thermoplastics Tensile Proprieties Using Digital Image Correlation

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents measurement of tensile proprieties of thermoplastics by digital image correlation method. The objectives are to characterize based on experimental data the pre-and post-yield regime of polyvinylchloride (PVC) under uniaxial tension and to investigate the rate-dependent large deformation behaviour over crosshead speeds of 1, 5 and 25 mm/min respectively. The true strain-stress curves of PVC tested with different loading speeds are experimentally obtained and based on these a phenomenological constitutive model is implemented. The theoretical material model considers the variation of strain rates due to the inhomogeneous deformation behaviour of thermoplastic polymer and includes six parameters (material constants) to be identified according to the experimental results. It can be found that the effect of the strain rate on the true stress strain curves is small for lower strain rates but cannot be ignored for higher strain rate.
