Abstract

A physically constitutive model based on the concepts of quasipoint defects and hierarchically constrained molecular dynamics is applied to describe the sub-Tg inelastic behavior of amorphous polymers over a wide range of temperature and strain rates. Temperature and strain rate greatly influence the mechanical response of amorphous polymers. The results satisfactorily reproduce experimental observations and provide a general physical explanation for the occurrence of the change in deformation regime observed at a temperature lower than Tg. The kinetic equilibrium occurring between the creation of defects due to plastic deformation and their annihilation through structural relaxation is shown to play a major role in the existence of the two regimes of deformation.
