Abstract:
Quasi-static compression tests (0.001~1 s
-1) and dynamic compression tests (1 000~3 000 s
-1) on MDYB-3 polymethyl methacrylate were carried out. Three viscoelastic models: ZWT model,
n-Maxwell model, and revised
n-Maxwell model, were used to fit its final stress-strain curves, and comparisons of these fitted results were conducted. The results showed that ZWT model is good at low strain rates;
n-Maxwell model can not accurately describe the non-linearity; and the revised
n-Maxwell model has the best fitting effect among these three models. In practical applications, the ZWT model is the most flexible and simplest, while the revised
n-Maxwell model is the most accurate.
