Abstract
Starting from physical basis, a robust three-dimensional
constitutive model for the finite strain response of amorphous polymers is
briefly presented. This model accounts for the high strain rate and
temperature effect. Intramolecular as well as intermolecular interactions
under large elastic-inelastic behavior are considered for the mechanisms of
deformation and hardening. In particular, it is found that the secondary
relaxations of polymer chains play an important role in the deformation
process for the high strain rates and low temperatures. For a wide range of
temperature and strain rate, the proposed constitutive model has been
validated in compression for three amorphous polymers:
polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC) and polyamideimide (PAI).
