Mechanical and Structural Characterization of Semicrystalline Polyethylene under Tensile Deformation by Molecular Dynamics Simulations

We have studied tensile deformations of semicrystalline polyethylene (PE) with molecular dynamics simulations at two different strain rates and temperatures. Compared to earlier studies, the modeled systems were approximately 5 times larger, which allowed significantly larger strains up to about 120...
