Abstract

This paper deals with the modeling of the key mechanisms involved in the fracture of polymers: shear yielding and crazing. Along with the continuum model for shear yielding, we will discuss a recently proposed cohesive surface model for crazing. Applications to be presented include the study of the competition between the two mechanisms during growth of a mode I crack, and a numerical investigation of the role of localized deformations in failure of a polymer blend.
