Abstract

A unified account of the structural relaxation and nonlinear deformation in glassy polymers is presented. The glassy state relaxation is derived from the local configurational rearrangements of molecular segments, and the dynamics of hole motion. We then apply this to predict the nonlinear stress-strain relationships.
