The influence of mass dope dyeing and fiber fineness on polypropylene's viscoelastic behavior is studied. The standard linear. solid element model, the Vangheluwe model, and the Zurek model are used to determine this behavior. Some modifications of the Vangheluwe and Zurek models improve their ability to model viscoelastic behavior.
