Extruded PET mechanical properties

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
gsc

RE: Extruded PET mechanical properties

You might want to try to contact Eastman or DuPont. They should have the information, even if they don't put it in their literature.

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.
