Effect of Strain Rate on Radical Production

For the given system an increase of strain rate by a factor of 10 will shift the decay curve to higher strain values by Aeg = 0.9%. 

In all of these cases the variation of free radical concentration seems to reflect more the changes of material response than the kinetics of decay of stressed chains. The effect of strain rate on radical production in comminution (grinding, milling) would be very difficult to determine and no results have been reported.
