Abstract
The critical review is presented of modern models of plastic deformation of amorphous polymers, with the emphasis on concepts of temperature dependencies of the mechanisms of crazing and shear. It was shown that these models cannot satisfactorily explain the experimental data. A new approach is proposed based on the cluster model of structure of amorphous polymers developed by authors. This model gives an alternative explanation of the changes in deformation mechanism with changing temperature and agrees well with experimental data.
