Literature needed for education polyethylene
(OP)
I have a project where I am working with low density polyethylene. The project specifies a minimum amount of allowable permanent deflection under a predefined load.
Does anyone know of a good reference to educate myself on this material? Specificially yield criteria? I'll be using a FEA model so if there is info on how to set up a FEA model that would be great.
Thanks

Are you aware of how easily LDPE creeps?
I think your project is ill-defined and not likely to succeed.

As far as it being hard, yes I anticipate it being hard, but that is what makes it fun and rewarding.
