Notes:
“Hard elastic” polypropylene fibers respond nonlinearly to stress at all strains. Low tenacities at break (less than 1 g/denier), low moduli of elasticity (slopes of stress-strain curves from 2.8 to 28 g/denier), and large breaking extensions (over 800 percent) are characteristic of “hard elastic” fibers. Behavior in simple extension, cyclic extension, and stress relaxation can be represented by a quasi-linear viscoelastic model which uses a continuous relaxation spectrum and a quasilinear relation between stress history T(t)and strain history λ(t): \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ T(t) = T^e [\lambda (t)] + \int_0^t {T^e [\lambda (\tau)]\dot G(t - \tau){\rm d}\tau } $$\end{document} where Te[λ(t)] is the elastic response. When creep data are available, this model should provide a unified representation of experimental observations.
