| Abstract: | The deformation of a polymer material subjected to tensile strain is considered with due allowance for physically linear creep at finite deformations. The deformation process is only stable in time up to a certain value of the load; under heavier loads the deformation is unstable. An expression is derived for the critical time.Institute of the Polymer Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR, Riga.
