viscoplasticity – Mechanics of Polymers

Damage phase-field approach vs. Cohesive zone model for double cleavage drilled compression fracture test

November 25, 2024 by admin

The double cleavage drilled compression (DCDC) test has been introduced for glass but also extended to test polymer. It is a slender prismatic specimen with a hole in its middle and cracks that are initiated at both poles. It is interesting because the loading is uniaxial compression and the cracks are submitted to opening mode...
