Book on stress analysis of plastics
Book on stress analysis of plastics
(OP)
Hi,
I'm looking for recommendations for a good book on stress analysis of plastics. Analysis of plastics is a new field to me so I'm interested in analysis methods and failure criteria. Basically, how to go about analyzing a plastic part for structural adequacy. Calculating stress is not an issue--I have experience with analyzing steel with hand calculations and FEA--but most plastic seems to behave more complex than steel.
Thanks in advance!

I can't personally recommend a book but I expect others will be able to.
I always used the better raw materials manufacturers literature from the likes of Ticona, Bayer, BASF, Sabic and DuPont.
