Notes:
The effect of temperature and loading history on the compressive stress-strain properties of two plastics is described. Polypropylene and nylon cylindrical specimens were reduced in height by 20%, 40%, 60%, and 80%, at room temperature and 25°F below the melt point and at two different deformation rates. Test specimens were cut from these worked billets along two directions, axially and radially. Subsequent compressive stress-strain tests were run using an Instron tester. Results of these tests are presented and compared with the stress-strain curve of the virgin material.
