Nonlinear Viscoelastic Characteristics of Polymeric Materials: Final Report, September 1, 1986-February 28, 1989.

摘要

Results are presented from an experimental program in which the interaction of load, time, and temperature were examined on the deformation characteristics of polymeric cords, with particular emphasis on nylon cord used in tire construction. Thermal contraction effects generally tend to be negative on such materials, but can be overridden by applied loads. These factors are described experimentally and efforts are made to explain the basis for then and to provide an analytical framework for their description. 2 refs., 11 figs.
