The strain hardening behavior is a good measure for the stress cracking resistance of HDPE geomembranes. Influences of the testing parameters temperature and cross head speed on the strain hardening modulus in material testing of PE were quantified. For tests of HDPE geomembranes at 80 °C and 10 mm/min a good correlation with SP-NCTL tests was demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
