Conclusions
-
1.
Models of brittle and highly elastic processes of polymer disintegration are obtained in the form of analytic relations between the defect parameters., the polymer characteristics, and the stress, assuming that deformational events play the determining role.
-
2.
A new mechanical and technological characteristic of a polymer is proposed: the limiting reduced strain, allowing concise statement of the models.
-
3.
Relations allowing the geometry of crack propagation arising in the vicinity of the technological macrodefect to be investigated are obtained.
