Young's modulus for Polythene, cross-linked by pile irradiation, has been measured by both static and dynamic means. Below about 115° C (the usual melting-point) the modulus decreases with temperature ...

When a material experiences an applied uniaxial tensile stress, s, it displays a strain response, e. In the initial stage of strain, the response is linear in the stress and may be described by ...

The modulus (indentation modulus) profiler was developed in 1987 by Gillen, Clough, and Quintana (Polymer Degradation and Stability 17 [1987] 31-47). The technique has a special resolution of about ...
