Abstract:Abstract:The mechanicai and thermal properties of the simple linear reversible extension of a solid can be well described by means of Young's modulus and linear thermal expansion coefficient. In this paper it is shown that on stretching near the glass transition temperature the temperature dependence of Young's modulus must also be taken into account.
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.
