... and viscoplastic deformation stages. However, little quantitative information about the void evolution with the drawing level is to date available in the literature. The objective of this work is to quantify cavitation mechanisms in neat and calcium carbonate-filled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) subjected...

...José A. Alvarado-Contreras; Maria A. Polak; Alexander Penlidis In this article, the description of a novel damage-coupled constitutive formulation for the mechanical behavior of semicrystalline polyethylene is presented. The model attempts to describe the deformation and degradation processes...
