Abstract
The structure-sensitive parameter y which describes the influence of uniaxial stress on the rate of molecular breakage can, according to recent calculations, be related to the elastic modulus, E(ɛ), of the oriented sample. The values of E(ɛ)/E(∞) as determined from the fracture experiments of Regel and Leksovsky are in good agreement with direct measurements and with theoretical predictions made for composite materials.
