Deformation response and constitutive modeling of vinyl ester polymer including strain rate and temperature effects
Abstract
The deformation behavior of vinyl ester polymer under monotonic tensile loading is characterized and modeled. The Standard Linear Solid model, which is a physical model, was used and modified to represent the stress-strain behavior of this polymer over a wide range of strain rates and temperatures. This model was also used to predict the stress-relaxation and short-term creep behavior of this material. The comparisons between the predictions and experimental data from tensile and relaxation tests demonstrate that this model can represent the deformation behavior of the material reasonably well. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
