## Abstract Constitutive equations are derived for the timeβdependent behavior of semicrystalline polymers at isothermal loading with small strains. A semicrystalline polymer at temperatures above the glassβtransition point for its amorphous phase is thought of as a network of macromolecules bridge

## Abstract Constitutive equations are derived for the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of amorphous glassy polymers. The model is based on the theory of cooperative relaxation in a version of the trapping concept. Stressβstrain relations are applied to fit experimental data for polycarbonate in the
Viscoelastic behavior at elevated temperatures of high-density polyethylene and isotactic polypropylene was investigated by using the stress relaxation method. The results are interpreted from the view of an established two-process model for stress relaxation in semicrystalline polymers. This model
Simple stress-strain characteristics of silk do not give sufficient information on the influence of the rate of testing in silk. A methodology is described to quantify individual components of viscoelasticity which clearly brings out the influence of the strain rate on the viscous component of the s
