What is the affect of folding a PTFE Sheet repetitively? Would it cause the material to harden?

11 November 2017 1 424 Report

Multiple webpages (Including Wiki) state that FEP & PTFE do not withstand repetitive folding. Is the statement correct? and what would be the effect on the materials characteristics?

Peter Farrington

This paper has a very nice discussion of the mechanical properties of PTFE

How to define an anisotropic material with asymmetric elastic compliance/stiffness matrix in ANSYS APDL?

I need to model an anisotropic material in which the Poisson's ratio ν_12 ≠ ν_21 and so on. Therefore, the elastic compliance matrix wouldn't be a symmetric one. In ANSYS APDL, for TB,ANEL...
