This research focuses on a mechanical study of an acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS)/ polycarbonate (PC) blend totally derived from Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) recycling. First, an experimental work was developed in laboratory for the preparation of different mixtures of ABS/PC blend. Then, mechanical tensile tests were performed on the injected specimens and the stress/strain experimental data were gathered to be used in the modelling part. In order to enable the prediction of the mechanical response of the blend, G’Sell and Jonas constitutive law was considered for this purpose. An optimization method based on the Generalized Reduced Gradient (GRG) nonlinear algorithm was developed to identify the input parameters governing the mechanical model. In addition, an uncertainty parametric study was assessed to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the constitutive law sensitivity versus the parameter uncertainty. Monte Carlo simulations were performed and the convergence of the numerical model was proved in terms of means and standard deviation statistical data. The results showed an excellent agreement between the numerical approach and the experiments. Besides, it was highlighted the crucial role of coupling uncertainty parametric study with modelling for accurately describing the mechanical behavior of the blend.
