FEA of plastic parts
FEA of plastic parts
(OP)
Anbody have experience on FEA analysis on plastic parts? I have read some article and most people suggested that nonlinear FEA should be used. Is that true?
I understand that the stress-starin curve of plastic is different from that of metal. However, I still would like to use linear to start with and get the best insight about stress on product design.
Any experience you could share would be helpful!
Thanks in advance.

Check out the GE plastics site

It's a good resource. Also, Im sure there are plenty of books on the topic at your local university library.
