Dynamic Properties of Materials. Part 1. Polymers

Abstract

A survey of literature on the mechanical behavior of polymers subject to dynamic loads in a wide temperature range has been made. The data showing the variation of yield strength, and elongation with strain rates and temperatures were tabulated and plotted; the results obtained from tension and compression modes of loading are graphed separately. A comprehensive reference section is provided. It is observed that the behavior of polymers under dynamic loading is different from static loading. The yield strengths are generally higher under dynamic loading than the static ones and they decrease with an increase of temperature.
