Mechanics and Modeling of Cold Rolling of Polymeric Films at Large Strains -- A Rate-Independent Approach
Nikhil Padhye
We analyze plane strain cold rolling processes, at large strains but slow strain rates, by finite element modeling. At low temperatures, slow strain rates, and moderate thickness r…
Isogeometric Analysis of Elastic Sheets Exhibiting Combined Bending and Stretching using Dynamic Relaxation
Nikhil Padhye, Subodh Kalia
Shells are ubiquitous thin structures that can undergo large nonlinear elastic deformations while exhibiting combined modes of bending and stretching, and have profound modern appl…
Dilatational-Plasticity Opens a New Mechanistic Pathway for Macromolecular Transport Across Polymeric Interfaces Yielding Solid-State Bonding
Nikhil Padhye, Ajay Vallabh
Bonding between polymeric interfaces is encountered widely in several industrial applications. Many of these bonding processes rely on time-consuming and temperature-dependent clas…
A New Phenomenon: Sub-Tg, Solid-State, Plasticity-Induced Bonding in Polymers
Nikhil Padhye, David M. Parks, Bernhardt L. Trout +1
Polymer self-adhesion due to the interdiffusion of macromolecules has been an active area of research for several decades [70, 43, 62, 42, 72, 73, 41]. Here, we report a new phenom…
