Study of Damage in the Medium Density Polyethylene Using Digital Image Correlation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The non-linear response of solids is an expression of irreversible processes that originate in microdefects, which are understood as initial material damage. This work aims to analyze the degradation of the mechanical properties of medium density polyethylene through continuum damage mechanics using Digital Image Correlation (DIC). With this technique, displacement and strain fields are obtained throughout the specimen gauge length and therefore optical gauges in any region of interest can measure the strain. Mechanical testing with successive loading and unloading were performed in order to obtain the actual magnitude of the material stiffness in certain strains. Finally, through the damage versus strain diagrams, the results showed that the damage in medium density polyethylene increases from a certain deformation.
