Damageable Thermal Behavior of Thermoplastic FlatPlate under Uniaxial Stress

The behavior of polymers is remarkably related to temperature, its influence on physical characteristics should not be denied in the study of mechanical or physical behavior, especially in the study of forming processes that require an important apport of mechanical and thermal efforts. The behavior of polymers is strongly linked to a known temperature margin noted Tg and called glass transition temperature, above which the configuration of the macromolecular chains goes largely mobile, and dependence with temperature occurs more dramatically. This dependence is especially remarkable than the dependence with time for viscoelastic materials. Our work is a contribution to the study and characterization of the behavior of thermoplastic polymers with thermal damage, the damage model proposed reflects the state of damage to a structure made of ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene) undergoes both mechanical and thermal damagee under different temperature spectra.
