A Combined Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Influence of Defects on the Mechanical Behavior of Double-Notched ABS Specimens
Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is widely used in structural applications where geometric discontinuities could significantly affect mechanical performance. In this context, tensile tests were performed on smooth and notched samples machined from ABS plates in order to investigate the residual stresses presence i...
