The objective of this research is to study theoretically and                    experimentally, crack initiation and damage evolution in polymeric              materials under fatigue loading.  The mechanism of damage evolution             will be determined by microscopic observation of the sectioned                  fatigue specimens.  The kinetics of damage growth will be modelled in           the analytical study.  The results will lead to a predictive                    formalism for damage evolution and fatigue crack initiation.                    Alternatively, the results can be used to develop more reliable                 techniques for predicting the life time of a structural component               subjected to fatigue loading.
