- The paper presents unique data that has been used to develop/validate material models of PEEK that have been implemented by industry to simulate the manufacture of speaker diaphragms. It presents for the first time biaxial data at conditions appropriate to thermoforming. It’s also the first paper that compares and contrasts two approaches to generating this type of data- highlighting the need for both approaches to produce rich enough data sets for the development of constitutive models. This dual approach is now currently used to characterize new materials for the packaging industry. Contact: Dr Yannis Salomeia, CEO, Blow Moulding Technologies, Yannis@bmt-ni.com
