The Use of Time-Temperature Superposition Techniques to Forecast Creep Behavior in Engineering Plastics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 February 2011
Abstract
A complete understanding of the time-temperature dependent, viscoelastic mechanical properties of polymeric materials is essential for their successful application to engineering designs. We describe a computer-based system for acquiring, reducing and storing the mechanical properties of polymers, from which the useful forms of the mechanical characteristics may easily be reproduced and compared. We provide several examples illustrating the variety of ways in which these properties are utilized to forecast the performance of polymeric components of engineering designs under extreme field conditions.
