Abstract
A plastic may be selected for a thin web application by finite element analysis of the part including the properties, including Poission's ratio of potential polymers from which the part may be made and subjecting the computer model of the part to loads to determine the deflection of the part under a specified series of loads or when the part breaks or subjecting the part to a number of use cycles to determine when the part fails. The process is iteratively repeated for each plastic and the results are compared to select a preferred plastic for the part.
