This book provides a detailed description of the experimental characterization, material modeling and finite element simulation method for polycarbonate in aeronautical and aerospace applications. It presents the experimental facilities and methods used in characterizing the mechanical properties of polycarbonate in a large range of strain rates and temperatures.
The constitutive modeling of polycarbonate and the finite element simulation of polycarbonate products under impact loading are illustrated in detail. An integrated simulation framework is developed to incorporate the inhomogeneous yield stress distribution induced by injection molding into the mechanical simulations of polycarbonate products. Finally, an optimization methodology is devised to optimize the injection molding process parameters for high mechanical performance of the product under impact loading.
1. Experimental Studies of Mechanical Properties of Polycarbonate.
