Quasi-static stress–strain relationship of polyethylene (PE) pressure pipe that plays an important role on its long-term performance has been established by removing the viscous stress component from the experimentally measured total stress. Work reported here is focused on the influence of crosshead speed on the notched pipe ring (NPR) specimens that are prepared from PE pressure pipe of 2 in. in diameter. Viscous component of the stress–strain relationship was determined using a spring–damper–plastic element model, calibrated using results from stress relaxation tests. Crosshead speeds considered for the initial stretch of the stress relaxation tests are 0.01, 1, and 10 mm/min which due to the relatively uniform deformation in the gauge section generate the same order of difference in the strain rates. Results from the study suggest that the quasi-static stress–strain relationship is affected by the crosshead speed used to generate the deformation, and the trend of change is opposite to the total stress counterpart that includes the viscous component.

Abstract The mechanical and other properties of natural and synthetic rubbers can be regulated by the incorporation of fillers. The mechanical behavior of the resulting complicated heterogeneous systems is often difficult to describe theoretically. These vulcanizates have wide and useful applications under conditions of multiaxial stresses. In many cases, however, the stresses act mainly in compression, for instance, in gaskets, seals, suspension systems for vibration insulation, etc. Thus the stress relaxation properties in compression are of vital importance. In spite of this, very few studies have given attention to the stress-strain relations in compression, and the results reported in the literature concentrate mainly on the mechanical behavior of rubbers in tension. We now report a study of the isochronous stress-strain relation in compression for some rubbers at 295 K, based on stress relaxation measurements. A comparison is made between the behavior of samples which have been greased and of samples which have been glued to the deformation plates.

Glulam bamboo has been preliminarily explored for use as a structural building material, and its stress–strain model under axial loading has a fundamental role in the analysis of bamboo components. To study the tension and compression behaviour of glulam bamboo, the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo as two kinds of typical glulam bamboo materials were tested under axial loading. Their mechanical behaviour and failure modes were investigated. The results showed that the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo have similar failure modes. For tensile failure, bamboo fibres were ruptured with sawtooth failure surfaces shown as brittle failure; for compression failure, the two modes of compression are buckling and compression shear failure. The stress–strain relationship curves of the bamboo scrimber and laminated bamboo are also similar. The tensile stress–strain curves showed a linear relationship, and the compressive stress–strain curves can be divided into three stages: elastic, elastoplastic and post-yield. Based on the test results, the stress–strain model was proposed for glulam bamboo, in which a linear equation was used to describe the tensile stress–strain relationship and the Richard–Abbott model was employed to model the compressive stress–strain relationship. A comparison with the experimental results shows that the predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental curves.
