Abstract

The relaxation of isotropic homogeneous and non-aging linear-viscoelastic materials under conditions of complex stress state is considered. Thin-walled tubular specimens of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) for creep under a single-axial stretching, with a pure twist and combined load tension and torsion are considered as base experiments, tests. The solution is obtained by generalizing the initial one-dimensional viscoelasticity model to a complex stressed state, constructed using the hypothesis of the proportionality of deviators. The heredity kernels are given by the Rabotnov’s fractional-exponential function. The dependence between the kernels of intensity and volumetric creep is established, which determine the scalar properties of linear viscoelastic materials in the conditions of a complex stressed state in the defining equations of the type of equations of small elastic-plastic deformations, and the kernels of longitudinal and transverse creep defining the hereditary properties of linear-viscoelastic materials under the conditions of the uniaxial tension. The problems of stress relaxation calculation of thin walled tubes under combined tension with torsion have been solved and experimentally approved.
