posted on 2018-05-10, 09:08 authored by Jose O. Fernandez LorencesThe mechanical properties of PET (widely used in bottles and synthetic fibres) and
Nylon 11 (also used in the fabrication of synthetic fibres) were studied over several
decades of strain rate at different temperatures in an effort to provide a more complete
description of these materials behaviour. Processing techniques can be improved if
such information is available. Tests were carried out using a conventional Hounsfield
machine and two in-house-developed dropweight and a cross bow systems from 10°C to 200°C. The three systems enable true stress vs. true strain curves to be
calculated. [Continues.]
