Anisotropic mechanical response of UHMWPE crystals under hydrostatic pressure and elevated temperature: a molecular dynamics study

This study presents an atomistic investigation of the pressure- and temperature-dependent behavior of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) crystals under multiaxial loading. Using molecular dynamics, we evaluate the anisotropic stress–strain responses under tension, compression, and shear along the three p...
