The Ductile to Brittle Transition in Polycarbonate

<p>An advanced bulk constitutive model is used with a new cohesive zone model that is stress state and rate-dependent in order to simulate the ductile to brittle failure transition in polycarbonate. The cohesive zone model is motivated by experimental evidence that two different critical energ...
