Extruded PET mechanical properties
Extruded PET mechanical properties
(OP)
Hello,
I try to build an FE model of polymer coated sheet metal. I am looking for the mechanical properties of extruded polymer film (PET). All I've found are bulk properties, which are not even close to the material I am interested in. Mainly tensile and compressive stress-strain curves at different temperatures, and hysteresis would be helpful. Where can I find information about the shear properties? I am also interested in test methods I could use to obtain material data.
Thanks

RE: Extruded PET mechanical properties
For test methods, ASTM D638 is for Tensile Properties of Plastics, ASTM D882 is Tesile Properties of Thin Plastic Sheeting (<0.04 in thickness,) D2838 is Shrink Tension, and D2732 is Unrestrained Linear Thermal Shrinkage.
