The elastic-plastic deformation mechanism of mugwort petiole was investigated by quasi-static tensile experiments and dynamic tensile experiments with mugwort as the research object. A constitutive model of mugwort petiole was established and validated. The quasi-static tensile experimental results showed there was obvious strain hardening during the fracture process of mugwort petiole; the dynamic tensile experimental results showed a significant strain rate strengthening effect, with the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength increased with strain rate, and both showed uniform deformation behavior. The experimental results showed that the Pearson correlation coefficients between predicted data and experimental data are all greater than 0.95, the goodness-of-fit R2 is greater than 0.91, and the mean square error, root mean square error, mean absolute error, and mean absolute percentage error are all less than 1. The constructed constitutive model of mugwort petiole can more accurately and efficiently characterize the deformation behavior under loading of mugwort petiole, and the study can provide a more accurate and reliable theoretical basis for numerical simulation studies on the tensile properties of mugwort petiole.
