Popis: A novel constitutive model for modelling of polymer composite matrix material is proposed. Investigated material is an advanced ethylene/methacrylic acid (E/MAA) copolymer, DuPont™ Surlyn® 8940 thermoplastic resin, which exhibits intrinsic self-healing ability. The model incorporates damage evolution and healing model, and the von Mises linear isotropic hardening plasticity model and is validated with static tensile and two-cycle tensile tests on pure Surlyn® 8940 specimens. The concept of nominal and healing configurations is used in the development and numerical implementation of the model, which is additionally streamlined by the application of the strain equivalence hypothesis. Developed constitutive model enables accurate prediction of Surlyn® 8940 behaviour under tensile loading and precise prediction of accumulated plastic strain.
