Experimental and theoretical studies of deformation in polyethylene films under biaxial loading conditions

This dissertation describes the characterization of post-yield deformation processes in thin polyethylene films under biaxial stress states. In particular, research focused on the development of test methodologies and analyses associated with post-yield deformation is described. Considerable emphasi...
