Abstract

The article focuses on a research paper related to crystalline polyethylene modeling by J.A. Alvarado-Contreras, M.A. Polak and A. Penlidis of the University of Waterloo at Waterloo in Southern Ontario, Canada. The computational study involves the formulation of an algorithm concerning damage-coupled material law for crystalline polyethylene at finite inelastic strains to describe crystal fragmentation caused by atomic debonding of the crystallographic planes.
