A sinusoidal rate of loading is one of the less common ways of testing fibers. A mathematical treatment of the behavior of visco-elastic materials under such conditions is developed, and this theory is applied to data obtained using Nylon 66 monofils. The results indicate that the sig nificant values for the flow process are dependent on the frequency of vibration. An experimental method of obtaining the data necessary is described.
