Abstract

Paraboloidal plastic yield criterion appropriately conveys the nonlinear elastoplastic behaviour of the polymers. The elastoplastic stress and strain relationship for the paraboloidal yield criteria is devised using the radial return mapping algorithm. For the numerical implementation [...]

Abstract

The present work focuses on the mechanical characterization of polymer matrix composites reinforced with graphene oxide (GO) nanostructures. Firstly, the selection of the polymer matrix, the parameters for performing a proper curing and the fabrication of the composite material [...]
