Abstract:The present paper investigates the degradation of compressible polymers based on the proposed model on strain-induced degradation of incompressible polymers. In a non-equilibrium thermodynamic framework, constitutive equations and evolution laws are derived using the principle of maximum energy dissipation rate and specifying how energy can be stored and dissipated. As a computational model, the governing equations are applied to the pressurized polymeric vessel subjected to the Ogden–Hill compressible hyperel… Show more
