Time and stress-dependent viscoelastic properties of polypropylene fibers are determined
by means of a series of creep tests and data analysis technique. Relaxation tests are carried out to
verify and update the suggested model. The tests are performed for single polypropylene fibers that
form a thermally bonded low-density nonwoven. The obtained properties are implemented into the
finite element analysis software MSC. Marc - Mentat. Tensile tests and simulations are performed
in order to demonstrate suitability of the developed creep model. The obtained results are discussed
and further recommendations are given.
