The cumulative extension cycling behavior is a combination of the effects of elastic recovery, viscoelasticity, and fatigue. The purpose of this research was to examine the elastic recovery aspects of the behavior. A model behavior idealized to include only elastic recovery was assumed and a computer program written to simulate cumulative extension cycling behavior based upon this idealized model. Tests were performed with an apparatus which removed the sample's slack after each cycle. A comparison of the experimental and computed results yielded an improved understanding of the elastic recovery aspects of the cumulative extension cycling behavior.
