Abstract: | A model of non-linear viscoelasticity with relaxation times which depend on the structure is compared with experimental results reported in the literature for a L.D. polyethylene.The single parameter of the model is determined by comparison with steadystate shear results. The model is then used to interpret various transient data. These are: tangential and normal stress growth in shear, stress growth in elongation, normal stresses in shear creep.The comparison shows a good general agreement, thus supporting the suggestion of relating the change in time of the relaxation spectrum to structural variables. |
