Abstract

The purpose of the present article is to provide a perspective of constitutive equations for glassy polymers developed using the molecular chain network theory. The experimental observations of the deformation behavior of glassy polymers at macro- and micro-scale are indicated, and an accommodation of the characteristic feature of deformation behavior into the molecular chain network theories is discussed. The related computational simulations such as neck and shear band formation, and their propagations in plane strain conditions with thermomechanically coupled conditions are illustrated using examples.
