In this page you will find animations on the structure of polymeric materials, mechanical deformation of polymers, crack formation and propagation, scratch testing, and true stress vs engineering stress. Animations include:
• Polymers consisting of oriented chains • Polymers consisting of randomly oriented (coiled) chains • Presence of entanglements in polymeric structures • Step-wise polymerization process in 2D and 3D • Crack formation and propagation in PLCs • Poisson effect during tensile deformation of polymers • Deformation mechanisms - bond rupture, chain separation, chain scission • Effect of entanglements on the deformation mechanism • Scratching simulations • True Stress vs Engineering Stress during deformation Citation: "Resources for Education," The Laboratory of Advanced Polymers and Optimized Materials (LAPOM), University of North Texas.
