Publication on time-temperature correlations in amorphous polymers at large strains

Our paper “Time-temperature correlations of amorphous thermoplastics at large strains based on molecular dynamics simulations” has been published in Mechanics of Materials. Through molecular dynamics simulations, this paper illustrates the effects of time and temperature on amorphous polymers at large strains. Above the glass transition temperature (Tg), the time-temperature superposition principle applies to large strains. Below Tg, the effects of time and temperature exhibit correlation, which remains consistent between large and small strains in the glassy state.
