A Thermo-Mechanically Coupled Large-Deformation Theory for Amorphous Polymers Across the Glass Transition Temperature

Amorphous thermoplastic polymers are important engineering materials; however, their nonlinear, strongly temperature- and rate-dependent elastic-viscoplastic behavior is still not very well understood, and is modeled by existing constitutive theories with varying degrees of success. There is no ge...
