A comprehensive understanding of the mechanical behavior of polycarbonate (PC) under high-rate loadings is essential for better design of PC products. In this work, the mechanical behavior of PC is studied during tensile loading at high strain rates, using a split Hopkinson tension bar (SHTB). A modified experimental technique based on the SHTB is proposed to perform the tension testing on PC at rates exceeding 1000 s. The effect of strain rates on the tension stress⁻strain law of PC is investigated over a wide range of strain rates (0.0005⁻4500 s). Based on the experiments, a physically based constitutive model is developed to describe the strain rate dependent tensile stress⁻strain law. The high rate tensile deformation mechanics of PC are further studied via finite element simulations using the LSDYNA code together with the developed constitutive model.
全面了解聚碳酸酯(PC)在高速加载下的力学行为对于更好地设计PC产品至关重要。在这项工作中,使用分离式霍普金森拉杆(SHTB)研究了PC在高应变率拉伸加载过程中的力学行为。提出了一种基于SHTB的改进实验技术,以在超过1000 s⁻¹的速率下对PC进行拉伸测试。在很宽的应变率范围(0.0005⁻4500 s⁻¹)内研究了应变率对PC拉伸应力⁻应变规律的影响。基于实验,建立了一个基于物理的本构模型来描述应变率相关的拉伸应力⁻应变规律。通过使用LSDYNA代码和所建立的本构模型进行有限元模拟,进一步研究了PC的高速拉伸变形力学。
