It also seems fairly certain that this ability correlates to the strong strain-hardening that this polymer exhibits in uniaxial extension.
This strain-hardening effect is amplified as the stretching rate increases, since the time scale of the response to the drawing force is shorter for faster extension rates.
This fact may be caused by the approximation used for describing the strain-hardening behaviour in the FEA model.
