A unified model of necking and shear banding in amorphous and semicrystalline polymers

No === In tensile stretching, many polymers undergo strain localization. The geometrical form of the localization can take the form of either a shear band or an approximately symmetric neck. We present a constitutive model of the early stages of deformation that predicts which form the localization...
