## Abstract Constitutive equations are derived for the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of amorphous glassy polymers. The model is based on the theory of cooperative relaxation in a version of the trapping concept. Stressβstrain relations are applied to fit experimental data for polycarbonate in the
In the bulk, glassy polymers exhibit a nonlinear viscoelastic response during deformation. Stress or strain induced damage (i.e. crazing, microshear banding) results in the production of nonrecoverable work and observed nonlinearity. Stress or strain dependent shift factors have been used to mathema
## Abstract Constitutive equations are derived for the timeβdependent behavior of semicrystalline polymers at isothermal loading with small strains. A semicrystalline polymer at temperatures above the glassβtransition point for its amorphous phase is thought of as a network of macromolecules bridge
