The destabilizing effect of deformation-induced heating on the cold drawing of polymeric films is investigated under adiabatic and plane-strain loading conditions. An approximate method, previously devised to study the steady-state cold drawing of polymers with viscoplastic properties, is further modified to incorporate the softening effects due to temperature. Parametric studies are carried out showing the interaction of material properties with the kinematics of the process.
