Establishment and comparison of four constitutive relationships of PC/ABS from low to high uniaxial strain rates

Establishment and comparison of four constitutive relationships of PC/ABS from low to high... Abstract The objective of this paper is to accurately predict the rate/temperature-dependent deformation of a polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) blend at low, moderate, and high strain rates for various temperatures. Four constitutive models have been employed to predict stress–strain responses of PC/ABS under these conditions, including the DSGZ model, the original Mulliken–Boyce (M–B) model, the modified M–B model, and an adiabatic model named the Wang model. To more accurately capture the large deformation of PC/ABS under the high strain rate loading, the original M–B model is modified by allowing for the evolution of the internal shear strength. All of the four constitutive models above have been implemented in the finite element software ABAQUS/Explicit. A comparison of prediction accuracies of the four constitutive models over a wide range of strain rates and temperatures has been presented. The modified M–B model is observed to be more accurate in predicting the deformation of PC/ABS at high strain rates for various temperatures than the original M–B model, and the Wang model is demonstrated to be the most accurate in simulating the deformation of PC/ABS at low, moderate, and high strain rates for various temperatures. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials Springer Journals

Abstract

Abstract The objective of this paper is to accurately predict the rate/temperature-dependent deformation of a polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) blend at low, moderate, and high strain rates for various temperatures. Four constitutive models have been employed to predict stress–strain responses of PC/ABS under these conditions, including the DSGZ model, the original Mulliken–Boyce (M–B) model, the modified M–B model, and an adiabatic model named the Wang model. To more accurately capture the large deformation of PC/ABS under the high strain rate loading, the original M–B model is modified by allowing for the evolution of the internal shear strength. All of the four constitutive models above have been implemented in the finite element software ABAQUS/Explicit. A comparison of prediction accuracies of the four constitutive models over a wide range of strain rates and temperatures has been presented. The modified M–B model is observed to be more accurate in predicting the deformation of PC/ABS at high strain rates for various temperatures than the original M–B model, and the Wang model is demonstrated to be the most accurate in simulating the deformation of PC/ABS at low, moderate, and high strain rates for various temperatures.
