Abstract
This paper presents a phenomenological three-dimensional viscoelastic-plastic constitutive model for polymers. The model is based on the assumption that stress can be decomposed into two parts, namely viscoelastic and elastic-plastic. The proposed rate-dependent nonlinear model is then implemented in a finite element program. The validity of the code is assessed by the data from experiments on a specific polymer. The data from three types of...
