DOI: 10.1016/j.ijsolstr.2019.08.021
Abstract: Abstract Semi-crystalline polymers often present a complex non-linear behaviour that combines thermo-viscoelastic and thermo-viscoplastic contributions associated to different deformation mechanisms. During the initial deformation stages, the process is influenced by the rupture and reorientation of… read more here.
