Chapter 1. Introduction to Fatigue and Tribology of Plastics and Elastomers
1.1. Introduction to Fatigue
There are two recently published books on the properties of engineering plastics in this series. The Effect of Temperature and Other Factors on Plastics1 discusses the general mechanical properties of plastics. The mechanical properties as a function of temperature, humidity, and other factors are presented in graphs or tables. That work includes hundreds of graphs of stress versus strain, modulus versus temperature, impact strength versus temperature, etc. Time was not a factor in that book. The Effect of Creep and Other Time Related Factors on Plastics2 discusses the long-term behavior of plastics when exposed to constant stresses or strains ...
