Determination of the Viscoelastic Parameters of Carbon and Quartz Filaments in Tension

Abstract

Analytic relationships for use in calculating the viscoelastic parameters from data of tests performed on a tearing machine with constant loading rate are given. A calculation of the viscoelastic parameters for carbon and quartz filaments using the Rzhanitsyn–Koltunov model is presented. The nature of the relaxation processes in filaments capable of forming fabrics from carbon and quartz filaments on a loom is demonstrated.
