Abstract:
The lack of a widely-accepted quantitative methodology for evaluating the scratch behavior of polymeric materials has resulted in the development and establishment of a new methodology recently standardized as ASTM D7027-05. Using a custom-built instrumented scratch machine, it is possible to produce controlled, repeatable scratches on polymer surfaces under constant or linearly increasing loading conditions at constant or increasing scratch rates. Software-aided digital image analysis along with material science tools (SEM, OM, FTIR, etc.) allows polymer scratch behavior to be analyzed withou

This dissertation work is focused on the analytical and numerical examination of the mechanical response of polypropylene (PP) under scratch deformation by a semispherical indenter. The finite element (FE) method is employed as the analysis technique and ABAQUS??, a commercial FE package is adopted to perform the analysis. Important physical and computational considerations on the implementation of FE analyses for the scratch problem are reviewed. It is shown through the discussion of the generated results that a good understanding can be gained on how different scratch conditions can affect s

Abstract:
Wear is an important phenomenon that occurs in all the polymer applications in one form or the other. However, important links between materials properties and wear remain illusive. Thus optimization of material properties requires proper understanding of polymer properties. Studies to date have typically lacked systematic approach to all polymers and wear test developed are specific to some polymer classes. In this thesis, different classes of polymers are selected and an attempt is made to use multiple scratch test to define wear and to create a universal test procedure that can be employed
