Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) is a very significant and widely used amorphous thermoplastic which, on account of its importance in industry, multiplied billions of dollars are spent yearly in the United States alone, not to talk of the rest of the world. It is primarily utilized in industry and domestic situations due to its high damage resistance properties. This fact makes it a required exercise for serious and thorough research in this area to go ahead. In this article, the tension, compression, and bending response behavior of ABS material under various strain rate levels tests were investigated. Its characterization under tensile, compression, and other mechanical testing is thus quite important, to elicit ways of enhancing properties that would make the material or structures made from it, better in service. In the current phase, tension, compression, shear, and flexural samples were tested, because it is of interest to know how the longitudinal and shear loading damages propagate through the specimen length and thickness, and how the microstructure is affected from point to point, both laterally and depth-wise. The issues of energy transfer and dissipation are significant in terms of the effectiveness of this material as a damage retarder. Mat_187 nonlinear material model in Ls-Dyna was utilized to numerically evaluate the behavior of ABS under tension, compression, and three-point bending. The experimental results compared favorably to the numerical results.
