Shear bands in amorphous polymers under four-point bending
Abstract
As a significant means of plastic deformation in polymers, shear bands play a crucial role in material failure and performance optimization. In this paper, the finite element method is utilized to numerically investigate the morphology of shear bands in an amorphous polymer plate under plane strain four-point bending. Amorphous polymers are characterized by the elastic-viscoplastic constitutive relationship that takes into account the effect of …
