Abstract

This article presents the mechanical behavior of high density polyethylene (HDPE). Samples were prepared by extracting extruded HDPE pipe. Cyclic and strain rate jump behavior of HDPE were studied under uniaxial tensile loading conditions. The strain jump tests indicated that mechanical behavior of HDPE has deformation memory. Further, it was found that increasing cycle number on cyclic loading test increased strain accumulation amount and HDPE exhibited ratcheting behavior at on loading-unloading-reloading at constant stress level.
