Abstract

A model for craze growth is presented, based on stress and strain analysis around a craze and on rheological properties of craze matter. This model is shown to account quantitatively for observed growth rates, and to be in agreement with the variation of the delay time for crazing in polycarbonate with stress and temperature.
