Abstract
A method is discussed for calculating internal stresses in rubber-modified polymers and for predicting elastic constants as well as a critical stress for onset of crazing. A simple model is used to simulate the structure and behavior of the composite, and the necessary assumptions are listed. It is possible to account for interactions between particles which to date has been neglected in other analyses.Keywords
