The results of tests of the stress relaxation in crosslinked polyethylene under different conditions are presented. With the use of relaxation kernels for describing the experimental data, the mechanism of the relaxation process has been determined, and the dependences of the stresses and Young's modulus over time at different temperatures and strains have been obtained.
