Constitutive Modelling of Creep in a Long Fiber Random Glass Mat Thermoplastic Composite

Dasappa, Prasad (University of Waterloo, 2009-01-16)

Random Glass Mat Thermoplastic (GMT) composites are increasingly being used by the automotive industry for manufacturing semi-structural components. The polypropylene based materials are characterized by superior strength, ...
Material Modelling for Structural Analysis of Polyethylene

Liu, Hongtao (University of Waterloo, 2007-01-17)

The purpose of this work was to develop a practical method for constitutive modelling of polyethylene, based on a phenomenological approach, which can be applied for structural analysis. Polyethylene (PE) is increasingly ...
Nonlinear Macromechanical Analysis of Polymeric Materials

Sepiani, Hossein (University of Waterloo, 2017-05-19)

A new methodology for predicting the short term and long term responses of viscoelastic and viscoplastic materials is developed in this research. The methodology aims to predict the behaviour of viscoelastic/viscoplastic ...
