✦ Synopsis

The statistical nature of the stress crazing phenomena in polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) has been investigated The experiments suggest that the time required for the formation of crazes is an inherent, but statistical,, characteristic of the material itself incorporating a stress depending rate process reflecting to some extent the initial microscopic flaw distribution.
