Abstract: | From tension and torsion experiments under constant load, the authors determine the parameters of a material with physically nonlinear creep. They examine the applicability of these parameters to represent the deformation properties of materials under other loading systems. They give a method of drawing the reverse creep curve (in integral form) with parameters different from those of active creep.Institute of Polymer Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR, Riga.
