Abstract

The Sherwood-Frost constitutive model is widely used to predict the mechanical behavior of polymer materials, and it is a very important material model. In this study, the stress-strain curve of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with a strain rate ranging from 935 to 5450 s−1 was obtained through the split Hopkinson bar test device. Based on the HDPE dynamic mechanical performance test, the method for determining the strain-rate parameters of the Sherwood-Frost constitutive model was analysed and the strain-rate term in the constitutive model revised. Using the experimental results of Sherwood and Frost, the method to determine the parameters of the density and temperature terms in the model was introduced. This study provides a reference for parameter determination and model modification of the Sherwood-Frost constitutive model.
