Stress-Strain Curve Comparison Between ABS and Chrome Plated ABS

Stress-Strain Curve Comparison Between ABS and Chrome Plated ABS

Hi All,

I am looking for examples of stress-strain curves of ABS and Chrome plated ABS... Does anyone have experience how to model Chrome plated ABS and/or PC+ABS?

RE: Stress-Strain Curve Comparison Between ABS and Chrome Plated ABS

Depending on your PC+ABS composition, you can find very accurate stress-strain curves online.
Try to find the main supplier's website - whichever company your current company buys them from. Or ask directly to the supplier to provide this data for you.
Stress-Life curves are mostly hard to find from those suppliers, but they most likely will have the stress-strain data as it is an easy test to retrieve those.

Don't know about chrome plated ABS. But had Aluminum+Steel Clad before. Aluminum+Steel would be modeled as either duplicate elements sharing the same nodes, or composite modeling with plies on a single layer of elements.

Chrome+ABS experienced FEA guys, please advise.
