Experimental studies on elastic cooling and pyromagnetic effect of polyvinyl chloride sheets with defects
E-mail:
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) sheets were made into samples with precast defects for uniaxial tensile test. The tests are carried out under room temperature with conditions of same displacement rate but different defect sizes or of same defect but different displacement rates. The local nonuniform temperature field on whole deformation area of specimen is recorded with a thermal infrared imager and the whole coupling magnetic field with thermal changes in experiments is detected and measured by a self-developed sensors system. The experimental results show that, in a complete tensile test process of PVC samples, the temperature reduction phenomenon emerges firstly in its elastic deformation stage (areas) that temperature of specimen is cooler than room temperature. And then in viscoplastic deformation period (areas), the temperature increases sharply to be obviously higher than room temperature due to the thermo-mechanical coupling effection of tensile load and viscoplastic deformation heat. These thermal variations lead a coupling pyromagnetic effect occur and the effect intensity is dependent strongly on the strain rate and/or the size of defects. The temperature prejudgment conditions for materials yield are preliminary discussed based on this effect.
