Abstract
This paper describes a theory of large strain, rubber-like elasticity combined with stress relaxation, which is the character of the behavior of hot plastics indicated by a series of unpublished high extension rate tests on such materials as polystyrene, polyethylene, acetate, etc., in the molten or “soft” state.Keywords
