An experimental investigation and determination of the mechanical properties is carried out to show the reliability of a PVC in engineering application. For this purpose, the experimental work is divided into two groups, the first group includes a determination of the mechanical properties, such as yield stress, modulus of elasticity and maximum elongation of the initial PVC at normal conditions. The second group includes a study of the factors affecting these properties such as the effect of temperature, cross head speed and load duration by creep.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
