Simple tests carried out with a common tension/compression testing machine are used to obtain timedependent
properties of non-reinforced thermoplastics. These tests include ramp loadings as well as
relaxation and creep tests. Two materials (PBT Celanex 2002-2 and POM Hostaform C9021, Ticona
GmbH, Kelsterbach) were taken for the experiments. The experiments show that an adequate description
of the long-term material properties can be obtained from the short-time tests, namely from tests
with constant traverse speed 
.
Below a model for the time-dependent mechanical behavior is presented and fitted to the obtained measured data. For the evaluation of the fitting quality long-term tests are used. Especially creep and relaxation tests with ”jumps”, i.e. rapid change of loading, are important for this purpose.
