--- _id: '24714' abstract: - lang: eng text: The prime aim of this paper is to investigate, with the help of experiments, the induced anisotropy of mechanical properties in polycarbonate films. It is known that a molecular orientation in polymer materials occurs through cold-forming. In this study, cold forming is performed at room temperature on a tensile testing machine. The polycarbonate films are examined in two phases. In the first phase, the specimen is loaded, while the prestrain is varied, and in the second, it is loaded, while the material direction is varied. The main findings are that the prestrain has virtually no influence on the anisotropy and that the material direction does exert a major influence. Furthermore, this paper summarizes comparisons of anisotropic characteristic data, maximum stresses, elasticity moduli and failure strain. author: - first_name: Andrea full_name: Wibbeke, Andrea last_name: Wibbeke - first_name: Volker full_name: Schöeppner, Volker last_name: Schöeppner - first_name: Rolf full_name: Mahnken, Rolf id: '335' last_name: Mahnken citation: ama: Wibbeke A, Schöeppner V, Mahnken R.
