Problem 1: A plastic component was subjected to a series of step changes in stress as follows: 1) An initial constant stress of 10 MN/m² was applied for 1000 seconds. 2) Then, the stress level was increased to a constant level of 20 MN/m². 3) After a further 1000 seconds the stress level was decreased to 5 MN/m² which was maintained for 1000 seconds. 4) Then, the stress was increased to 25 MN/m² for 1000 seconds. 5) After that, the stress was completely removed. If the material may be represented by a Kelvin-Voigt model in which the elastic constant E = 1.25 GN/m² and the viscous constant n= 125 GNs/m², calculate the strain 4500 seconds after the first stress was applied.

Transcribed Image Text:Problem 1:
A plastic component was subjected to a series of step changes in stress as follows:
1) An initial constant stress of 10 MN/m² was applied for 1000 seconds.
2) Then, the stress level was increased to a constant level of 20 MN/m².
3) After a further 1000 seconds the stress level was decreased to 5 MN/m² which was
maintained for 1000 seconds.
4) Then, the stress was increased to 25 MN/m² for 1000 seconds.
5) After that, the stress was completely removed.
If the material may be represented by a Kelvin-Voigt model in which the elastic constant
E = 1.25 GN/m? and the viscous constant n= 125 GNs/m², calculate the strain 4500 seconds
after the first stress was applied.
Problem 2:
If the stress application of Problem 1 is conducted on another polymer at 45C, estimate the
strain 4500 seconds after the first stress was applied. The plastic used, this time, has a glass
transition temperature of -20°C. The modulus of elasticity, E(t), of this polymer at room
temperature (25°C) was determined to be:
E(t) = 1.39 t0.155 GPa
Where t is in seconds.
Problem 3:
The material of Problem 2 is being used as a bolt for joining two rigid plates. The bolt is
quickly tightened so that the initial stress is 15.0 MPa. After 48 hours the bolt is retightened to
keep the same clamping force. Find the remaining stress value after further one week at 37°C.
