description

The biaxial extension results byDenson et al. are compared with the predictions of a model of non-linear viscoelasticity. Date of uniaxial extension on the same material (a commercial polyisobutylene) are taken for extending the comparison. The model used seems to adequately describe both types of elongational flow with the same value of the single adjustable parameter.
