Abstract: | The proposed continuity condition is based on the hypothesis that the time dependence of the strength and limiting strain of the resin is determined by the limiting value of the specific work done by the stresses. The case when the reinforcement is elastic and the rheological properties of the resin are described by a linear differential equation is considered.Institute of Polymer Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR, Riga.
