The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.4 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 2.2 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00034 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.46 SJR: 0.333 SNIP: 0.606 CiteScore™:: 3.1 H-Index: 31

ABSTRACT

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a widely used polymer that contains amorphous and crystalline phases. First, the micro- to macroscopic deformation behavior of an amorphous phase with a heterogeneous distribution of molecular chains, in other words, the distribution of the initial shear strength and single crystalline phase, is investigated by means of computational simulation with the nonaffine molecular chain network model and crystalline theory with a prescribed chain directional extendibility. The results clarify the onset of microscopic shear bands emanating from the slightly weak points and their evolution, interaction, and percolation in the amorphous polymer. Very different deformation behaviors that depend on the applied stress are clarified in terms of the rotation of the chain slip direction in the crystalline phase. Then, the characteristic feature of the deformation and evolution of the interface undulation of composite blocks comprised of amorphous and crystalline phases under uniform tension and compression is clarified. The effects of heterogeneity of the initial shear strength on the interfacial deformation and the deformation of the crystalline phase, and their interactions, which will provide detailed information on the semicrystalline polymer, are given.
