Temperature, Moisture, and Strain Rate Effects on the Compressive Mechanical Behavior of Nylon 6/6
Abstract
Materials testing is essential to the development and verification of constitutive models for material deformation. Our purpose is to generate a consistent set of data from which nonlinear visco-elastic constitutive models of Nylon 6/6 can be constructed and evaluated. We use 3-dimensional plotting liberally to provide the reader a quick feel for the data; researchers are welcome to contact us for copies of datafiles for more rigorous applications. Research on the effects of hydrostatic pressure is in progress and will be documented separately. Individual citations on the mechanical behavior of Nylon 6/6 are typically restricted in their temperature range, strain or strain-rate regime, or testing mode. Variability in material stock and testing techniques further frustrate efforts to patch together a consistent comprehensive set of data for material modeling purposes. We present data from a single batch of material stock at five temperatures (20, 65, 110, 150, 200 deg C), seven strain rates three moisture levels (0%, 2% and 6%) and three deformation modes (direct compression, compressive stress relaxation and compressive creep).
