Experimental Study on Viscoelastic Properties and Fracture Characteristics in Polymers

<p><p>The research reported in this thesis is undertaken with the following objectives:<br />1. To determine the viscoelastic properties of polymers on creep test under constant load;<br />2. To determine the internal friction (loss factor) of polymers under periodic loading condition;<br />3. To determine the delayed time or life time on fracture of the polymer under constant loading ; and<br /> 4. To verify the relationship, theoretically predicted, between the time to fracture and the material characteristics of the polymer with experimental observations.</p></p>
