Özet

The objective of this work is to study the stress-strain responses of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) under uniaxial and biaxial cyclic loading through systematically conducting experiments and model simulations. Experiments involved prescribing axial, strain and stress controlled, cycles to the specimens of UHMWPE. Since the ratcheting strain and its accumulation rate are sensitive to the mean (or steady) and amplitude stresses of the prescribed loading cycles, these parameters were varied in the experiments conducted.
