Numerical and experimental study of the Behaviour of notched HDPE

It is important to study the Behaviour of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) under notch effects as it is widely used in industrial applications (Qi, 2018). However, there are only a few studies on the Behaviour of HDPE with defects, this work aims to study the deformation mechanisms under a tensile test experimentally performed on blank and notched specimens at constant speed and room temperature, and by developing our study by simulating HDPE using commercial software code.
