Abstract: | The conditions for the occurrence of instability during neck propagation in polymers are theoretically studied. The mechanism
behind this phenomenon is concerned with the thermomechanical instability of neck propagation, which is provided by the transformation
of a sample’s stored energy of elastic deformation into heat during tensile drawing of the plastic polymer. An analytical
criterion for the occurrence of instability is formulated. The critical length of the sample, below which self-oscillations
are not excited, is inversely proportional to strain rate and directly proportional to the coefficient of thermal conductivity
and the elastic modulus of the material. Two principal distinctions between thermomechanical and mechanical instabilities
are revealed. The first distinction is the existence of elastic energy (length), below which oscillations do not occur; the
second is the fact that the interval of thermomechanical instability is wider than that of mechanical instability. |
