Hey all, I'm looking for a method of determining creep properties of polymer products that is faster than applying a stress to them for an extended period of time. Is anyone aware of any relations between more quickly/easily attainable material properties and creep properties? Or is there any way to simulate an extended life test in a shorter amount of time?
Thanks for you help,
