Influence of temperature and load on mechanical properties of unirradiated and irradiated plexiglass

Abstract:

Investigations of the mechanical, properties of unirradiated and irradiated plexiglass of various types have been carried out when tested for the flat straight bend. Exposure to temperature and radiation significantly affects the properties of the material.
As a result of the research, the dependences of deformation on stress, length, and width of the specimens were obtained. The experimental curves are satisfactorily described by a linear model.
