Notes:
A certain fraction of the mechanical work performed on a specimen is converted into heat during necking of plastic material. A method for measuring this fraction is proposed when specimens are drawn in two different surroundings, air and water. Differences in the heat transfer coefficients of these two media influence the temperature rise during necking. The fraction (α) of mechanical work converted into heat can be calculated using data determined at only one draw rate. The value of α calculated for polypropylene is 0.55 and for polyethylene it is 0.48.
