RISPrediction of the Onset of Failure in Elastomeric Solids With Weld Lines Being Represented as Localized Regions of Lower Density
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We study the initiation of damage in a polymeric body in which there is a line defect due to the formation of a “weld line” that occurs when two polymer streams join together and then solidify. We show that damage initiates ...
