How to Calculate and Solve for Stress Damage Resistance | Polymer Deformation

Last Updated on December 11, 2021

The image above represents stress damage resistance.

To compute for stress damage resistance, four essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Elastic Modulus (E), Surface Fracture Energy (γ), Fracture Stress (σf) and Poisson’s Ratio (μ).

The formula for calculating stress damage resistance:

R”” = /σf² (1 – μ)

Where:

R”” = Stress Damage Resistance
E = Elastic Modulus
γ = Surface Fracture Energy
σf = Fracture Stress
μ = Poisson’s Ratio

Let’s solve an example;
Find the stress damage resistance when the elastic modulus is 21, the surface fracture energy is 7, the fracture stress is 12 and the poisson’s ratio is 4.

This implies that;

E = Elastic Modulus = 21
γ = Surface Fracture Energy = 7
σf = Fracture Stress = 12
μ = Poisson’s Ratio = 4

R”” = /σf² (1 – μ)
R”” = (21)(7)/(12)² (1 – 4)
R”” = (147)/(144) (-3)
R”” = (1.0208) (-3)
R”” = -3.06

Therefore, the stress damage resistance is -3.06.
