Macroscopic criterion for craze initiation in polystyrene

Macroscopic failure of polystyrene has been investigated under pure shear and simple tension by isochronal static tests in air at room temperature. A number of crazes were clearly observed under both stress states. The craze initiation identified under pure shear provides an obvious counterevidence...
