Abstract
Some results on the amplitude-dependent dynamical behavior of poly(methyl methacrylate) are presented. Both the loss tangent (internal friction) and the storage Young’s modulus are strain-amplitude-dependent, when measured between room temperature and approximately 400 K, at a frequency of the order of 50 kHz. The data are interpreted in terms of an hyperbolic sine stress dependence of the strain rate, including an effective stress. The activation volume was found to depend on the temperature, with values much larger than those obtained through the usual mechanical tests (tensile, creep, or stress relaxation).
