Abstract
A model was developed to detn. the rates of craze initiation and craze growth in opaque materials that deform by crazing, such as toughened polystyrene [9003-53-6], and to predict their stress-strain behavior. Crazed polystyrene toughened with low-d. polyethylene [9002-88-4] can be regarded as a series of linearly elastic crazes and toughened polystyrene. This implies that the amt. of craze material, stress, and strain are related in a simple fashion. As the amt. of craze material can be calcd. from the rates of craze initiation and craze growth, stress-time behavior can be calcd. if strain-time behavior is known, and vice versa
