Simulation of Deformation and Texture Evolution in Semi-Crystalline Polymers

Abstract

We developed a spectrum of mechanical based models which can be applied to the study of deformation and texture evolution of semi-crystalline polymers. We applied these models to predict behavior and texture evolution at large deformations. Results obtained from a composite model to polyethylene are presented and compared to the experimental data. The agreement with experiments is satisfactory. Keywords: Simulation of large strain plastic flow in semi- crystalline polymers, Polyethylene, Texture evolution, Stress strain, Curves, Tension, Amorphous materials.
