Stress relaxation behavior of short Kevlar fiber‐reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is studied with respect to strain level, strain rate, fiber loading, and fiber orientation and temperature. The existence of a two‐step relaxation mechanism for unfilled stock and a three‐stage relaxation mechanism for the fiber‐filled stock is reported.
