| Abstract | |
This thesis first presents a review on polymers, methods for measuring the material mechanical properties of in a wide range of strain rates and a review of nonlinear continuum mechanics, kinematic frameworks with multiplicative split of the deformation gradient altogether with models material for thermoplastic polymers. Later, This thesis presents results of relaxation, quasi-static and dynamic tests under tensile and compressive loads for HDPE and PVC, and subsequently impacts on plates of the same materials. The large number of quasi-static tests aimed to analyze the sensitivity to strain rate and to the type of loading, and also the degree of anisotropy. During these later tests and the relaxation ones, it was used a technique called digital image correlation, DIC, measuring the longitudinal and transverse strains in a plane and allowing the attainment of true stress true strain curves in various cross sections of the same specimen. A proposed new methodology for obtaining corrections map for the analysis of the dispersion and attenuation in wave propagation on cylindrical bars made of viscoelastic materials allowed greater reliability and accuracy of the viscoplastic behavior obtained in split Hopkinson bar pressure. Finally, a model material is proposed and has its parameters calibrated using relaxation, quasi-static and wave propagation tests in its viscoelastic part and plastic part of the quasi-static tests with the data obtained in bar Hopkinson in its viscoplastic part, in order to verify its behavior while simulating the plate impact tests.
