Abstract
A model for the description of the combined process of quiescent and flow-induced crystn. of polymers is presented. The final goal of this work is to predict mech. properties, shape, and dimension stability of a product. The model is based on the work of Schneider et al. and Eder et al. where the shear rate was taken as the relevant parameter. A viscoelastic model is added from which the resulting recoverable strain (expressed by the elastic Finger tensor or the related viscoelastic stress) with the highest relaxation time is used as the driving force for flow-induced crystn. Comparison with exptl. results from literature shows good agreement
