Rate- and temperature-dependent ratcheting behavior of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) subjected to cyclic compression: testing and prediction

A series of uniaxial ratcheting experiments were carried out for HDPE specimens under cyclic compressive loads. The effects of stress range, temperature and stress rate were studied in detail. Results show that the compressive stress–strain curves are nonlinear at different stress and temperature le...
