Effects of Drawing on Creep Parameters of Polyoxymethylene-Drawn Fibers
The effects of drawing on creep parameters (modulus, viscosity, and retardation time) of polyoxymethylenedrawn fibers were examined on the basis of a series-parallel, four-element, mechanical model. These parameters increased with the draw ratio. The change in the modulus was the same between the series and parallel components. This was true also for the viscosity, although the change in the viscosity was much greater than that in the modulus. This means that the series and parallel components are deformed in the same mode by drawing. The parallel viscosity increased with elapsed loading times according to an experimental power function; this was also derived from the usual rate equation for viscosity change in the amorphous component. In contrast, the series viscosity remained unchanged over the short creep range due to an extremely larger value than that of the parallel.
