Abstract: | The transition from the start of deformation to the establishing of a stationary state of nonlinear, periodic shear deformation and the kinetics of the change in the mechanical characteristics after deformation at finite amplitudes has ceased have been investigated. The calculated values have been compared with those obtained experimentally.For Communication 2 see 3].Institute of Polymer Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR, Riga.
