Elasticity Matrix of PVDF-HFP

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear all,

I'm trying to model the electromechanical behaviour of a PVDF-HFP (Polyvinylidene Fluoride -Hexa Fluoro Propylene) polymer film. I need the coefficients included in the elasticity matrix. Neither have I done any kind of measurement for calculating all the components of the matrix, nor could I find them in the literature. How can I solve this problem? Did anyone studied similar systems?

It would be very appreciated if you could give me some hints.

Thank you. Loree

If there are no built-in parameters, literature and experiment are the only possible sources for material parameters.

If it were me I would probably start with the PVDF parameters and scale them based on the results of carefully selected experiments.
