A constitutive equation for approximating the nonlinear stress-strain behavior of plastics is introduced in this paper. The equations for the stress, strain, and deflection of a cantilever beam, based upon the newly introduced constitutive equation are presented. In comparison with the experimental results, the cantilever deflection predicted from the nonlinear analysis is found to be about 50% more accurate than the corresponding predictions from the linear analysis.Citation DetailsTitle: Analysis of nonlinearly elastic cantilever snap beams for assembly of plastic parts.(First Symposium on Oriented Polymers )Author: Mahesh GuptaPublication: Polymer Engineering and Science (Refereed)Date: November 1, 1997Publisher: Society of Plastics Engineers, Inc.Volume: 37 Issue: 11 Page: 1901(6)Distributed by Thomson Gale
