Abstract

The recently proposed constitutive framework based on logarithmic strain space by Miehe et al. (3) is a successful model for the modelling of amorphous glassy polymers. The modular structure of this model makes it attractive especially for the numerical implementation. In this contribution, the Miehe model will be adapted to model the influence of different types of nano-fillers mixed into bulk amorphous glassy polymers. Here, different types of amorphous glassy polymers with various filler content, orientation of nanofillers and loaded by different strain rates have been investigated experimentally. Then, the Miehe model will be extended towards modelling the nano-particle influence in the amorphous glassy polymer which can be conceptualized by adapting the appropriate material parameters. The proposed modified model will finally be validated with experimental data.
