Anisotropic plastic deformation of glassy polymers with process-induced molecular orientation (2003)
Conference Proceeding
Buckley, C., & Wu, J. (2003). Anisotropic plastic deformation of glassy polymers with process-induced molecular orientation.

The constitutive modelling of glassy thermoplastics is extended to the case of anisotropy arising from processinduced molecular orientation. The basis of the work is the Glass-Rubber model framework, known to capture well the constitutive response of...
