Abstract

An experimental investigation and determination of the mechanical properties is carried out to show the reliability of a PVC in engineering application. For this purpose, the experimental work is divided into two groups, the first group includes a determination of the mechanical properties, such as yield stress, modulus of elasticity and maximum elongation of the initial PVC at normal conditions. The second group includes a study of the factors affecting these properties such as the effect of temperature, cross head speed and load duration by creep.
