Abstract
During a mechanical solicitation, the microstructure of semi-crystalline polymers (PSCs) such as High Density Polyethylene, which have a spherulitic structure, evolves. Our objective is to understand the micro-mechanisms of deformation when the solicitation remains in the low deformation range but takes into account the viscoelastic character of the amorphous phase. We will use a code based on the resolution of the Lippman-Schwinger equations by Fourier transform.
