Abstract
For an adequate description of the experimental procedures from Chapter 3, the material modelling of Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 as well as the numerical models from Chapter 6 and Chapter 7, the theoretical basis is provided in this chapter. In what follows, the fundamentals regarding the description of solid continua and polymer material modelling are given. In the last sections, the investigated polymers PMMA and TPU are introduced with respect to their chemical basis, mechanical and thermal behaviour as well as their production and processing.
