Phenomenological description of strain rate and temperature‐dependent yield stress of PMMA

A constitutive equation to describe the yield behavior of poly(methyl methacrylate (PMMA) is useful not only from the technological point of view, but also for the comprehension of the nonlinear mechanisms acting in the material. In both compression and tension, the yield stress is usually represent...

The second model interprets the yield process as a cooperative movement of several independent structural units, all with the same activation energy. In this article it is demonstrated that only the second phenomenological model is correct because it provides a good fit to the master curve of PMMA both in compression and tension, and verifies the properties of a set of curves related by scaling. Moreover, it is pointed out that the first model leads to severe inconsistencies because it does not consider the nonlinear behavior of PMMA.
