Abstract
Epoxy resins with various molecular weights between cross-linkings were prepared. In order to examine the strain rate and temperature dependence of the shear yield strength and the shear strength, test specimens were subjected to shear deformation at various strain rates and temperatures. The shear yield strength and the shear strength increased almost linearly as the logarithm of the strain rate increased. The strain rate-temperature superposition held for these shear properties. In particular, an experimental equation of the strain rate-temperature superposition for the shear yield strength was found. The shift factor to obtain a master curve was given with the temperature dependence of an Arrhenius type. Furthermore, the strain rate-temperature-molecular weight between cross-linkings superposition held for the shear properties.
