Thermo mechanical characterization and damage of polymer materials: Application material Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)

Plastic materials occupy a large part in our daily lives because of their ease of installation and relatively low production costs. The rapid technical development and we live brings more and more mechanical engineers to face the problems of damage to materials. However, these problems are even more serious than fatigue cracking often leads to a sudden break often cause accidents. This unfortunately happens all too frequently, due to insufficient knowledge either room service conditions or even damage parameters. This work presents new developments in the field of fracture mechanics and the objective is the evaluation of defects and thus a better estimate of the reliability of the polymeric material structures
