This paper investigates water absorption in polyamide 6.6 and the resulting hygroscopic swelling and changes in mechanical properties. First, sorption and swelling experiments on specimens from injection molded plates are presented. The observed swelling behavior is dependent on the melt flow direction of the injection molding process. Additionally, thermal analysis and mechanical tensile tests were performed for different conditioning states. The water sorption is accompanied by a decrease in the glass transition temperature and a significant reduction in stiffness and strength. Next, a sequentially coupled modeling approach is presented. A nonlinear diffusion model is followed by mechanical simulations accounting for swelling and concentration-dependent properties. For the mechanical properties, the notion of a "gap" temperature caused by the shift of the glass transition range due to water-induced plasticization is employed. This model enables the computation of local moisture concentration fields and the resultant swelling and changes in stress-strain behavior.
本文研究了聚酰胺6.6的吸水性以及由此产生的吸湿膨胀和力学性能变化。首先,介绍了对注塑板材试样进行的吸附和膨胀实验。观察到的膨胀行为取决于注塑工艺的熔体流动方向。此外,还针对不同的调节状态进行了热分析和机械拉伸试验。吸水伴随着玻璃化转变温度的降低以及刚度和强度的显著降低。接下来,提出了一种顺序耦合建模方法。首先是一个非线性扩散模型,然后是考虑膨胀和浓度依赖特性的力学模拟。对于力学性能,采用了由于水诱导增塑导致玻璃化转变范围移动而产生的“间隙”温度概念。该模型能够计算局部水分浓度场以及由此产生的膨胀和应力-应变行为变化。
