Abstract Analysis of the phenomenon of self-heating as a result of competition between hysteresis heating and heat losses to the ambient medium shows that for polymers two zones of steady-state heating are possible: a low-temperature zone, corresponding to a high endaurace limit, and a high-temperature zone, corresponding to low endurance. Between these zones is a temperature region in which steady-state heating is impossible. The high-temperature steady-state zone is frequently not realized as a consequence of the sharp drop in strength at high temperatures. The transition from one steady-state zone to the other is discontinuous, the occurrence of one or the other zone being determined by the deformation conditions (stress, cycling speed, size of specimen, heat conductivity, etc.). However, the self-heating temperature at which this transition takes place does not depend on the deformation conditions, but is determined only by the properties of the material. These conclusions have been confirmed experimentally.
