Modelling tensile force oscillation during the tensile test of PET specimens

Force oscillation occurring during the tensile testing of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), resulting in periodical cavitation of the test specimens, has been studied. A mathematical model has been developed to describe the phenomenon, wherein special fibre bundles are assigned to the amorphous mo...
