The dependences of the elongation speed and temperature on the ultimate tensile properties in polyethylene solids such as the tensile strength and elongation at break for different temperatures were superimposed, by shifts along the elongation speed axis, to give a master curve as a function of the time to rupture. The shift factors obtained from the equation. On the other hand, the strain rate and temperature dependences of yield behavior followed a kinetic process proposed by Eyring. was investigated, in which a double-edge-notched specimen was used to avoid necking. The data on ultimate properties super-positioning of both the tensile strength and ultimate strain followed the form of the Williams–Landel–Ferry (WLF)equation. On the other hand, the strain rate and temperature dependences of yield behavior followed a kinetic process proposed by Eyring.
