“…This failure of Larson model at high shear rates could be attributed to the probability that the polymer strands could not contact to the extent, equivalent to what is described by the single strain‐softening parameter( ) in the Larson model, because the shear rates are too fast. It is like the situation that the damping function predicted by the Doi–Edwards theory are stronger than the experimental data, because the retraction of the polymer strands is complete inside the virtual tube proposed by Doi and Edwards . The experimental and the predicted η E data are illustrated in Figs.…”

“…The damping function, h ( γ ), has been a concept introduced in rheology since more than 30 years ago, and its implementation in the modeling of polymer melts was an essential step forward in the classification and understanding of nonlinear viscoelasticity . Most of nonlinear viscoelastic behaviors can be described by utilizing h ( γ ) determined from stress relaxation measurements .…”
Abstract. In order to obtain high prediction accuracy in thermoforming-simulation a material-testing-method close to the actual thermoforming process is needed. Therefore scientists at the IKT developed a specific test for thermoforming material characterization (TMC-test). Besides the general description of a material's thermoforming characteristics, the TMC-test provides material data for thermoforming-simulation. First of all, the IKT's procedure for thermoforming-simulation is described. The setup of the IKT's TMC-apparatus is explained and it is examined how material parameters can be extracted from the TMC-test by reverse-engineering. Finally, the IKT's method for thermoforming-simulation is validated by an exemplary thermoforming-simulation. The prediction accuracy of the new procedure is being quantified by the relation of processed and simulated sheet-thicknessdistribution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
