报告题目：Deformation measurements and modelling of polymers on multiple scales: X-ray scattering, DIC and in-situ loading

报告摘要：

In this work the deformation of the microstructure of polycarbonate (PC) was studied, especially with respect to permanent deformation on different scales, using X-ray scattering with in-situ loading and simultaneous full-field deformation measurements using 3D-surface DIC. The results from X-ray scattering and DIC with in-situ uni-axial loading has revealed a non-affine relation between the observed deformation on the macro- and meso-scale and the deformation of the microstructure. The experimental results indicate that the reorientation of the chains is a result of the polymer chain segments being stretched to a limit stretch, after which they start to slide past each other. Furthermore, the results show that the polymer chain segments unload elastically with only a small residual deformation, when the macroscopic force is removed, i.e., the intra-chain deformation is predominately elastic.Taking advantage of the experiments, a model is proposed that makes use of a microstructural deformation gradient to incorporate the experimentally obtained deformation of the microstructure, as well as, its evolving deformation. It is shown that this approach is able to predict accurately glassy polymer deformation over a wide range of length-scales, from macroscopic response (mm range) down to the deformation of the microstructure (nm range)

Introductionof Professor Matti Ristinmaa：
