The yield stress behavior of a range of polyethylene materials which differ with respect to their short chain branch content has been studied. Measurements carried out over a wide range of temperatures have shown that there is a sudden transition in the behavior of the yield stress at a temperature which is dependent on both the grade of material and the applied strain rate. These results are in agreement with previous results found from analysis of the yield strain behavior. Above the transition temperature the materials all behave in a nonlinear viscoelastic manner, and the yield process is considered as being propagation controlled. Below the transition temperature the materials all behave in an elastic-plastic manner, and the yield process is considered as being nucleation controlled. Below the transition temperature the temperature dependence of the yield stress is determined by the thickness of the crystalline lamellae. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J. Polym. Sci. B Polym.
