Viscous and Failure Mechanisms in Polymer Networks: A Theoretical Micromechanical Approach

Polymeric materials typically present a complex response to mechanical actions; in fact, their behavior is often characterized by viscous time-dependent phenomena due to the network rearrangement and damage induced by chains’ bond scission, chains sliding, chains uncoiling, etc. A simple y...
