The behavior of glassy polymers during large-scale deformation will             be studied experimentally and analytically.  The goal is to develop             constitutive equations that can be useful for processing of these               materials, especially for predicting force requirements and material            behavior, such as non-homogenous deformation (crazing and shear                 bands) and spring back.  The model will be tested and validated with            numerical simulation of the cold drawing process.  The results will             improve the understanding of the phenomenology and the prediction of            the response of these "engineered" polymers to thermomechanical                 stimuli and should impact the technologically important area of cold            forming of these materials.
