Corresponding flexural stress and strain data for polycarbonate failure (at yield or break when brittle), at various temperatures are reported. It is shown that a specific failure locus is obtained at each temperature examined and that the results provide a means of construction of an appropriate locus for any temperature within the range 77–373°K investigated.
