The hypothetical ... glasses are examples of such materials. They haveonly one of each of the three kinds of moduli, and since the moduli areinterrelated, only two moduli are enough to describe the elastic behavior of ... but are more or less crys-talline. The degree of Crystallinity and the morphology of the crystalline material have profound effects on the mechanical behavior of polymers, and since these factors...

The temperature dependency of the yield stress can be determined from the tem- perature dependency of ... Calculating shear and tensile properties above the glass transition is more difficult because polymers are viscoelastic and therefore very time-dependent.
