Abstract

The numerical study of the scratch test on glassy polymers needs a well adapted mechanical behaviour law both viscoelastic and viscoplastic. To test different models, an algorithm which allows to assembly in series two models has been developped. In our cas, it is used to associate a viscoelastic model with viscoplastic one. The simulations carried out lead to some phenomenological results showing the importance to account for the time dependency of the stiffness modulus.
