Scratch behavior of polymers

This dissertation work is focused on the analytical and numerical examination of the mechanical response of polypropylene (PP) under scratch deformation by a semispherical indenter. The finite element (FE) method is employed as the analysis technique and ABAQUS??, a commercial FE package is adopted...
