Abstract

The subsequent creep behaviour of polymers is influenced by prior plastic deformation. The constitutive creep equation is deduced by introducing the concept of a back stress. The creep relation obtained with back stress is compared with the experimental results for the subsequent creep after prior plastic tension. This creep relation gives good agreement with the experimental results for the small creep strain.
