Dynamic Constitutive Model of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE): Considering the Temperature and Strain Rate Effects

The temperature and strain rate significantly affect the ballistic performance of UHMWPE, but the deformation of UHMWPE under thermo-mechanical coupling has been rarely studied. To investigate the influences of the temperature and the strain rate on the mechanical properties of UHMWPE, a Split Hopki...
