Material Specs for HDPE

[lgreene]

Hello All,

I'm looking for material specs for high density polyethylene. Does anyone
already have them?

Look at www.matweb.com for material specs.

Thanks all for you timely response!

Yes, I did look at matweb. Seems like most people like the site but it does
not have Poisson's ratio nor Young's Modulus for HDPE. . . .

Chevron / Phillips was very helpful however.

Young Modulus - 263k psi
Poisson's - .425

These are, of coarse, ball park figures and as you know Machanica is not
particularly suited for plastics . . . . . .

Messageseem's to be hard.

PE handbook says for Hdpe :
flex modulus : 145 to 225 k psi
tens. mod. : 155 to 200 k psi

MessageSo, instead of full anisotropic behaviour, is there a way to handle flexural and tensile modulus ?
perhap's an orthotropic simplification ?

thanks,
