Abstract
A technique involving the use of a three-element mechanical model with a critical stored energy criterion modelled accurately the creep rupture time of two types of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) specimens. The upper stress limit where the specimen ruptured immediately on application of load and the lower stress limit where the specimen sustained the load indefinitely were also features of the model. These two limits were found to depend on the resilience, elastic modulus and anelastic modulus of the HDPE.
