Abstract
An investigation of uniaxial creep in simple synthetic composites
of polyethylene and polypropylene was made to determine the parametric
behavior and interrelation of each component by varying the relative
volume and interfacial contact area. A mathematical model was developed
and used to predict the experimental behavior which was determined
by least squares fitting of the data. A digital computer was
used in the analysis and good correlation between the experimental
measurements and theoretical predictions was obtained. Included is
a report of the design and construction of equipment for theoretically
meaningful viscoelastic measurements.
